Added random carcass spawns to the game. They can spawn on land and in water. The map starts with some pre-spawned and then when below their maximum allowed number they can spawn every 30 seconds. The size of the carcass and flesh on it is random, smaller carcasses are favored. The amount of flesh remaining on the carcass is random between 12.5% and 50% of a full carcass. This should help scavengers and weaker creatures in some scenarios. You may need to increase your edible objects view distance in your game options if you'd like to see them from further away.

Fixed a problem where the system thought that some positions were in water but they really weren't.
