HeightMap: core class with scalar operations (closes #193)

Implement the foundational HeightMap class for procedural generation:

- HeightMap(size, fill=0.0) constructor with libtcod backend
- Immutable size property after construction
- Scalar operations returning self for method chaining:
  - fill(value), clear()
  - add_constant(value), scale(factor)
  - clamp(min=0.0, max=1.0), normalize(min=0.0, max=1.0)

Includes procedural generation spec document and unit tests.
