fix(editor): random-populate ground-snaps spawns to actual terrain

Browse source 
Previously every random-populated creature and object dropped at
baseZ (the manifest's flat height), which sat below the carved
terrain on hills and floated above it in valleys. After
generateCompleteZone the terrain is far from flat, so the spawns
showed up clipping or floating.

Added an inline groundZ(x, y) helper that casts a downward ray
from baseZ+500y at the spawn's (x, y) and uses the hit position's
Z. Falls back to baseZ if the ray misses terrain (shouldn't happen
inside the loaded tile bbox but is safer than NaN).

Both creature and object loops now consult groundZ. Snap-to-ground
is the runtime placer's default behavior anyway, so this lines up
with the rest of the editor's expectations.
