Add map chopping block

[PatrickPlaysBadly]

Resolves #4080

Description:

Add Map Chopping Block
https://youtu.be/NpX73lHiKO8

Increased multiplier for 4 player team games and water nukes (plug in center among other shortcuts). This map was made as a faster alternative to Labyrinth. Map has been modified since last submission to be 'less crazy'.

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

Walkthrough

Adds a new "Chopping Block" map: data/manifest files define nations and spawn areas, the map is registered in the generator and game enums, playlist weights and flags are set, and an English localization key is added.

Changes

Chopping Block Map Addition

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Map Type Registration and Categorization src/core/game/Game.ts	GameMapType now includes ChoppingBlock, and mapCategories registers it under arcade.
Map Data Definition and Manifest map-generator/assets/maps/choppingblock/info.json, resources/maps/choppingblock/manifest.json	Adds primary nations coordinate regions, additionalNations list, and teamGameSpawnAreas rectangles (2-team and 4-team).
Generator and Playlist Integration map-generator/main.go, src/server/MapPlaylist.ts	Registers "choppingblock" in the generator maps list; adds ChoppingBlock to FREQUENCY (weight 5), SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS (preferred 4-team), and WATER_NUKES_BOOSTED_MAPS.
English Localization resources/lang/en.json	Adds map.choppingblock => Chopping Block entry.

Poem

🔪 Chopping Block is drawn and set,
Nations ring the central square,
Spawn boxes marked, the players met,
Rotation weight and names laid bare,
May clever borders claim the air.
