Windmills

Adds a simple windmill that can be upgraded into three different variants.

The initial Windmill unlocks at the same time as the watermill. It produces some power and food and can be built anywhere on land with a 1 radius gap between mills, just like the wind turbine. Unlike the turbine, however, it can tolerate up to nearby 10-11 population density (a Tenant Farmer) on a 2 radius.

The Improved Windmill requires 4 farm fields next to it. It produces more food and power, but costs more wood to maintain. It also tolerates more population density than the basic version (Up to a Villa, 24-25 pop density)

The Orchard Windmill is what happens when you surround a (improved) windmill with at least 4 green spaces worth of parks next to it. It tolerates population density the highest (50 pop density, a Mansion) It also allows the construction of Flower Fields, wich are parks that reduce pollution by 2/10 per tile and produces a bit of food... somehow.

Lastly, the Modern Windmill becomes available after building logistics and a Farm Shed nearby. It produces the most amount of food in exchange of costing iron instead of wood to maintain. Like the Orchard Windmill, it tolerates up to 50 population density.

Aside from Temperate, each map has some changes to the windmills:

Desert map: Orchard Windmill replaced with Floodplain Windmill, requires farm fields nearby. Modern Windmill requires water network instead of a farm shed. Improved Windmill requires desert farms instead of regular fields.

Archipelago map: Improved windmills, Orchard windmills and Flower fields have tourism.

Rainforest map: Orchard Windmill requires red orchards nearby instead of green spaces. Flower fields can be built anywhere as long as there's an Orchard Windmill in the city.

Ruins map: All windmills cost iron instead of wood and unlock about the same time as the school onwards. Flower fields can assist in scrubbing radiation at the cost of ceasing to function like a park.
