Meta issue #12522

[anvilvapre]

to support auto/ai map generation in future, and to allow the editor to propose a subset of fitting tiles to selected map tile.

a database of which tiles can be connected at which grid offset/corners. and a database of which tiles are know to not fit together at all.

by querying all existing maps. and optionally by a extra in game tool that allows players to rate small areas of connected tiles.
