[mkgmap-dev] Minor documentation patch

Mon Jan 4 14:52:00 GMT 2021

Hi

Parts of what I said is not quite correct (I was looking at my modified
version of SeaGenerator).

The suggested wording for doc/options.txt is ok.

However the trunk SeaGenerator.java does manipulate the coastline way
but it is still available for rendering by the style. 

With option --coastlinefile, no manipulation takes place.
