When holding landfill, display expected new terrain

[Lav]

Landfill currently behaves quite erratically - creating a desired shape is a pain in the butt.

It would be great if the game pre-calculated the terrain shape after placing landfill and displayed a ghost preview of expected terrain changes as I'm moving landfill around with cursor. Displaying the amount of landfill items that will be spent would be nice as well.

Good suggestion !

And while you're at it, use that landfill projection to calculate what it should actually cost to lay it.
