Train Valley - Cactus Canyon inspired KOTH map

koth_trainvalley is an experimental king of the hill map inspired by the 3rd stage of Cactus Canyon.
It features a train (one for each side) going through the middle of the map, with gates opening to make an extra route to the buildings it goes through.

This update includes the changes from A6 plus the following:
-adjusted the enviroment lighting, shadows and fog to be less blue
-increased the height of the mid highground (this prevents you from being able to see to the other side's highground)
-various texture changes to make the map look less repetitive
-the lower ground next to mid now goes up higher
-the gray building at the trainyard ledge now goes out further
-simplified the interior of the route going up to said ledge
-removed the wall at the trainyard ramp (the gray building's extension makes it kinda redundant)
