This implements a node-timer based leafdecay mechanism, and exposes
an API to use it in mods.

The API is documented in game_api.txt.

`default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`

`leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
{
	trunks = { "default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
	leaves = { "default:leaves", "default:apple"}, -- nodes considered leaves
	radius = 3, -- activates leafdecay this far from the trunk
}

The algorithm will drop `leaves` items in the area if no `trunks` are found
in the `trunk_radius` sized area around the position of the leaf. If a node
listed in `leaves` has a group `leafdecay_drop > 0`, then the item is dropped,
otherwise the item is removed but not dropped.

The algorithm also implements a value `default.leafdecay_speed` (default
15) which can be modified to increase or decrease of the leaf decay. The
algorithm will vary the actual speed a bit to introduce randomness.

Leaf decay is randomized by 0.1 seconds to reduce the chance that
decay happens many times on the same second interval. This requires
nodetimer_interval to be set to values lower than 1.0 to have an
effect.

The leaves will decay between 2 and 10 seconds after digging the trunk,
and happen at non-integer second intervals.
