Ensures that the Planet Textures reflect the F7 screen descriptions

Overview

The vanilla-game planet textures are often wildly different from the descriptions on the F7 screen.

This OXP rectifies the matter for the vanilla-game code planet textures where they are described as containing forests or oceans.

History

Classic Elite (1984) had no planet textures - just wire frames. And the F7 screen descriptions were added in by the infamous Goat-Soup recipe. As computing improved, planet textures were added. And... the one did not always match the other!

This was originally two separate OXPs (Planet Oceans and Planet Forests).
