Summary0025467: Clicking on the galactic map to place starting positions randomizes the map
DescriptionThe map that is first generated upon going into custom game gets randomized as soon as I click a planet to place a starting position. It is a very trivial thing but I imagine this is unintended behaviour since it was not present in previous builds.

Only partially related, turns out:

* Setting your desired starting planet no longer causes a regeneration of the map view when you do so. This is particularly nice for multiplayer, but in general just works better.

Thanks!

* MapRandomSeed has been removed from the world object, and we now instead use World_AIW2.Instance.SetupStoredLongTerm.Seed.
** World_AIW2.Instance.SetupStoredLongTerm.Seed in general is handled more consistently in general. Before we were trying to sync these for no good reason.
** Recently, and possibly further back, there were a lot of cases that could involve MapRandomSeed being zero.
*** On the one hand, this would lead to the first regeneration of the map to completely give you something different (and that might be when you actually went into the game!).
*** On the other, it could lead into a scrambling every time certain other changes were made in multiplayer, like the changing of starting planets.
** All of that seems to be fixed now. This was affecting single player and multiplayer.
