Simple QoL improvement for embarks: tree and other vegitation search conditions

Pretty self explanatory. These are pretty important attributes and certainly strike me as being more relevant than altitude or rainfall. Considering the game already tells you the status of these things I question why I can't parse these out immediately like I can with aquifers and flux.

...you can't search for altitude anyway.

Rainfall is a good indicator of vegetation and tree density, IIRC.

If you're using DFHack you can use the Embark Assistant to search for desired biomes, with indicates what kind of flora and fauna you're likely to find. It doesn't support searching for individual plants, though.
