Glucose cloud should spawn on cell

Currently, the glucose cloud spawns roughly half the screen away from the cell. this is normally fine, but if you reproduced with low glucose it means that you can't actually get to the cloud before dying. if it spawned on the cell, you would at the very least have resources immediately on spawn, rather than shortly after. in most cases that distance isn't a big deal but sometimes it's enough to mean that you can't get any resources.

The reason the cloud spawns a little bit a way is to make the player need to notice it and collect it. Because otherwise we might as well just add the glucose directly to the player cell. That is BTW an option in 0.8.0 now. The difficulty settings include a new option to fill up to initial compound amounts when exiting the editor. This is the default in easy mode but can be mixed with other settings for a custom difficulty. This is not the default way to play as the intention is that you need to actually consider when to enter the editor by for example stockpiling a bit of resources so that you can then survive after the editor as well.
