Keep native structures out of static object cells

Vanilla structure and feature placement now runs through the bounded
worldgen access with a protected-position predicate, so a jigsaw piece
or an imported feature can read a static object's blocks but never
overwrite them, and never schedules a tick or block entity there.
Dimensions without static objects keep the plain level as before.
