0.7.1: Editable district names

Medieval Fantasy City Generator
A browser generator made in HTML5

This update is very small. Probably the only noticeable new feature is an ability to edit district names - just click one and enter a new value. It looks a bit odd when curvilinear labels are enabled, but I wanted to keep it consistent with the way how a city name is edited. Please note that in contrast with a city name, district names are not "saved" in the url (in the non-itch version). 

It is also possible to "reroll" district names. Shift+click any district name to generate new names for all districts (you can't reroll a single name). It gets harder and harder to invent "windowsless" ways of interaction, so eventually I'll have to implement a proper UI with dialogs, tabs, scrollbars etc.

Other changes

Improved way of road drawing, improved labels placing, new "type" of district - riverbank. The rest of changes are even smaller...

What's next?

In the post on Patreon☕ I mentioned some of development directions/goals I want to pursue. I'll try to implement at least one of those things and I'll keep working on the others. Also I'd like to improve the look of the generator/generated maps somehow, not sure how yet :)
