Optimize TileMap: replace HashMap with AHashMap, pack tile data

- Replace std HashMap (SipHash) with ahash::AHashMap for fast non-crypto hashing
- Pack tile data from tuples to structs: FloorTileData (~35 bytes) and FixtureTileData (~18 bytes)
- FloorTileData: pack 3 bools into single flags byte, use u8 for id/weight
- FixtureTileData: pack 2 bools into single flags byte
- Update all accessors: is_standable_tile, visibility, terrain generation, forestry
- Preparation for async pathfinding (Arc wrapping to come in follow-up)

Memory reduction: ~54% for floor tiles (76→35 bytes), ~62% for fixtures (48→18 bytes)
Hash performance: AHashMap uses fxhash, faster than SipHash for game data
