Ash particles cause performance issues in the ashy shoals biome

The probability for ash particles in the ashy shoals biome is 0.675, which is significantly higher than the approximately 0.118 probability of the basalt deltas biome. The amount should be reduced, either by default or via configuration, to allow people with performance issues to play at a stabler frame rate. Note that minimal particles turns off all biome particles.
This was addressed in #42 by adding a config option to disable ash fall. Is there really more needed beyond that?
That issue was regarding the placement of ash blocks. The enableAshFall configuration option added as a result of that issue doesn't impact whether particles are spawned, which seems to have a larger performance impact.
I'm adding a config option to the next release of Cinderscapes which when enabled will limit the probability of all instances of biome ash particles to 0.125. This is easy to do (whereas limiting it just for Cinderscapes is not).
