DEPRECATED:  Don't use strings to pass function names to the mapgen code,
use an actual function call i.e. my_code(pos) instead.

Regarding node_or_function_or_treedef, this must either be table with an
L-Systems tree definition, or a string with a node or function name.
If you specified a string, the code will attempt to determine, as needed,
whether that string specifies a node name. If it does, that node will be
placed on top of the target position directly.
If it wasn't a node, the code will assume you meant to specify a function
name, in which case that function will be passed a single position parameter
(in the usual table format), indicating where the named function should place
the object. It is called in the form of "somefunction(pos)", and behaves much
like a typical callback.
If you specified a string, the code will attempt to determine whether that
string specifies a valid node name. If it does, that node will be placed on
top of the target position directly (unless one of the other mapgen options
directs the code to do otherwise).
If you specified a table, the code assumes this table contains an L-Systems
tree definition, then that definition will be passed directly to the
spawn_tree() function along with the position to spawn the tree on.
You can also supply a function to be directly executed, which is given the
current node position (the usual "pos" table format) as its sole argument. It
will be called in the form:
somefunction(pos)
