Crash when generating at exactly the top of the world

The bug

When creating a superflat world with the top block level at exactly y=256 the game crashes during generation or almost immediately after entering the world. The preset 255*minecraft:air,minecraft:stone;minecraft:plains;village is one preset that does this.

Disabling surface structures like villages seems to avoid the problem. Enabling normal decoration like trees and grass also works fine.

I haven't yet tested whether or not this also occurs with the newly re-added customized world type.

Note that layers y=255 or below do work fine (MC-136526) while layers y=257 or above crash the editor due to MC-68124.
