Better info.json documentation 🗺️

[FloPinguin]

Description:

Restructured the ## Create info.json section in the map-generator README with proper sub-headings and tables, documented all fields (including previously missing custom_tribes, themes, and the new layers option), and created a new docs/Maps.md entry point linking into the MapGenerator README.

Changes:

• map-generator/README.md: Reorganized the info.json docs into ### Fields, ### Categories, ### Nations, and ### Layers sub-sections with tables. Added layers field documentation (id, placement, nukeable) and an example in the JSON sample. Marked nation coordinates as optional (omit for random spawn). Added custom_tribes and themes fields that were previously undocumented.
• docs/Maps.md: New file that links to the MapGenerator README sections for map creation, info.json schema, impassable terrain, output files, and CLI flags.

Please complete the following:

• I have added screenshots for all UI updates
• I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
• I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Poem

Maps gain a clearer guide,
Fields and layers stand beside.
Nations, themes, flags align,
info.json reads clear by design.
Paths and commands now shine.
