Add elevation impacts for plate tectonics

Since the latest refactor, tectonic plates no longer affect cell elevation. Simplex noise is the primary contributor to elevation, which lacks the "continental" look of the previous plate-based approach.
For reference, here are the Earth's tectonic plates:

There are two specific properties of plate tectonics that I want to try out:
- Individual plates may be higher in elevation than others. All cells of certain plates should start with a base elevation.
- Each plate boundary may have certain elevation-impacting features, depending on the boundary type (divergent, convergent, transform).
