Make ShiftExistingBiomes available via API (#40)
* bug fixes

Fixes wrong new_y_min when shift_existing_biomes() shifts a biome below the nether floor,
find_surface_anchorPos() no longer assumes y=0 will be outside the nether.
Nil-reference fixed when a mods tries to register a portal after mods are finished loading, but the portal shape+material was already registered by another mod.

* Make ShiftExistingBiomes available via API

makes the ShiftExistingBiomes function available to other mods via the nether global, since it's not a simple function and biomes would also need to be shifted if another mod wants to add a second nether layer.

* Allow layers to extend the depth of nether effects

Mods can set/lower nether.DEPTH_FLOOR_LAYERS when creating a layer under the nether. This allows multiple layer mods to know where their ceiling should start, and to be included in the effects which only happen in the nether.

* document nether API

More of a tentative interop guide than an API.
Use snake_case for API functions.

Nether mod portal examples for Minetest
These portal API examples work independently of the Nether realm
and Nether portal. To try these examples, enable them in:
Minetest -> Settings -> All settings -> Mods -> nether
Once enabled, details on how to build them can be found in dungeon
chests in the book of portals.

These travel a distance along the ground, and even when constructed deep underground will link back up to the surface. They appear to favor a strange direction, with the exit portal linking back only for as long as the portal stays open — attempting to reopen a portal from the exit doorway leads to a new destination along this favored direction. It has stymied our ability to study the behavior of these portals because without constructing dual portals and keeping both open it's hard to step through more than one and still be able to return home.
Due to such difficulties, we never learned what determines the direction and distance where the matching twin portal will appear, and I have lost my friend and protégé. In cavalier youth and with little more than a rucksack, Coudreau has decided to follow the chain as far as it goes, and has not been seen since. Coudreau believes it works in epicycles, but I am not convinced. Still, I cling to the hope that one day the portal will open and Coudreau will step out from whichever place leads to this one, perhaps with an epic tale to tell.]]),
