wraitii 0ebc08b13c Thread the pathfinder computations using the task manager.
The pathfinder computations are run asynchronously (and potentially on
the main thread) in-between simulation turns, thus reducing
pathfinder-related lag considerably in common cases.

To make this most efficient, the number of paths computed during a turn
via MaxSameTurnMoves is reduced from 64 to 20.

This has a hard dependency on the obstruction manager (via the vertex
pathfinder) not being modified in-between simulation turn (or to put it
more generally on the simulation state not changing outside of turn
computation), otherwise results will be non-deterministic and go OOS.
This is currently entirely safe (as in, it indeed does not happen that
the simulation state changes in-between turn), but future work towards
improving simulation sandboxing would be good.
