As reported by #5521, Ordering units to walk to a point in a forest can
lag terribly, as units will end up computing long short paths in the
forest, which can result in `ComputeShortPath` calls that individually
take upwards of 80ms.
This can be alleviated by allowing units to stop a bit earlier. A23
handled this in UnitMotion directly, but it's better to handle this in
UnitAI to avoid surprises and to make it customisable on a per-state
level.
This diff further speeds up using the short pathfinder by starting with
a smaller search range, limiting the max-range more and moving the range
slightly towards the goal.
This also refactors UM sending messages to UnitAI so that we may in the
future push more information (in particular, the entity_id that a unit
was obstructed by could be interesting for COMBAT).
This doesn't fix the possibility of lag, but it reduces its occurrence
to levels that should be similar to A23 and thus acceptable enough.

Units right now try going to their next long waypoint using the
short-range pathfinder. This works, but it tends to leads to units
clumping together when shuttling for example.
By switching to short paths earlier, and by scrapping the long waypoints
when doing so, we can make movement more natural until we have unit
pushing.
Some cleanup in how the short-path domain range gets handled, and
increase the max-range by one tile to improve rare cases.

As reported by @bb in #5512, catapults and other big-range units might
not approach targets correctly when trying to get in range.
To be sure that we will be in range of a square obstruction approximated

5c642611c4 introduces undefined behaviour: for vertices that are part of
non-AA squares, the value of "quadOutward" is undefined. This fixes that
by again setting it to QUADRANT_ALL by default, as it was pre

This was SVN commit r22476.
Three changes:
- Assume a certain incertain based on distance to the target, to avoid
recompute paths every turn when the target is far way and moving.
- Handle cases where the target is unreachable to the long-range
pathfinder and we would be recomputing every turn.
- If we went straight, assume we don't need to recompute a path.
These together make moving entities recompute paths far less often,
speeding up the game.

Compute the outward quadrants once and for all instead of setting them
dynamically, because there is no reason why we should always arrive from
the same quadrant as the first time we see a vertex.
Don't consider quadrants for the start-vertex, because of the edge
expansion (which can put us in illegal quadrants)
These result in (much) better paths, the tradeoff being that we now look
at some more vertices.

m_PathState kept 3 pieces of information that can be deduced using other
variables:
- whether the entity was following a path. This can be better deduced
by checking if the entity has short/long waypoints.
- whether a path is currently being requested. This can be better
deduced by checking the value of m_ExpectedPathTicket
- whether the requested path is long or short. This can be stored
directly alonside the path request ticket number, making it more obvious
why it exists.
With these changes, m_PathState can be removed.

It is generally better to use the movement request data as that is our
actual target and goals are just a representation of that at any given
time. Where a PathGoal is required, compute this lazily.
This allow failing easily in MoveToX() functions if the goal cannot be

Introduced by 70e22e2923. PositionChanged messages sent between
MT_Destroy handling in CmpObstruction and the actual destruction of the

forever in the obstruction manager.
This prevents that by de-activating the obstruction when it is
destroyed, so that further PositionChanged messages do nothing.

HandleObstructedMove contains logic to drop long waypoints, should they

This fixes a number of issues with formations:
- Gives the controller an obstruction. This fixes the bug where units in

- Stop special-casing formation members in PathResult. This fixes
formation members being stuck in-place when they run in an obstruction.
- Makes sure units stay in Formation.IDle when they are idle so that
D1337/D1901 can work correctly in the IDLE state.
- Warn if animals enter this state.
- Make sure that formation members that end up in INDIVIDUAL.IDLE go
back to FORMATION.IDLE for sanity and for better housekeeping (refs
#3144 - fixed completely upstream).

After the recent UM changes, units sometimes chase/flee forever as they
can never actually get in range.
This is because moving to the current target's position is not enough
when the target is moving.

behaviour is much improved.

This is a partial revert of 4fda917f46, which skipped the
"MoveToTargetAttackingRange" in APPROACHING. I (incorrectly) assumed
that the original order was still perfectly fine, but in fact the
attacker's max range may have changed as that depends on the relative
elevation between attack and target - and so the original order might
never get us in range!
This was introduced originally in 8c74df2acd.
Add a comment to clarify this.
Further, this makes sure UnitMotion still is aware that it has a target
even if it is in range from the beginning, as that could lead
to stuckiness (and did when chasing sometimes). This was done in D1984
anyways.
