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.
By accounting for the target movement's in ComputeTargetPosition, the
behaviour is much improved.

This new version compares the final waypoint with the target's
obtruction shape and uses reachability checks to know if we will be in
range or not.

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.
Fixes#5478.

This makes it possible to merge the TryGoingStraightTo family of
function.
This means it is now called even for point goals and decreases the
likelihood of stuck units (as we take over from the long-range
pathfinder which brings units to navcell centers, which may not be in
the goal).

This was SVN commit r22426.
D981/c219ee54b2 changed IsInXChecks to use edge-to-edge distance instead
of centre-to-edge, which broke UnitMotion's min-range movement, which
assumed distance to the center.
Since units are represented as squares, the diagonal point may be closer
to the target than the "real" clearance by a factor √2, so the delta
between minimum range and maximum range should be at least `(√2 - 1) *
clearance` to be safe in all situations (this is generally not a problem
for regular units which have a clearance of 0.8, but could be one for
catapults or elephants).

This was SVN commit r22422.
Previously, unitMotion had no code that checked particularly if the
target was still in the world.
When the target moved out of the world, unitMotion would follow the path
to its last known position, then send a "MoveSucceeded" message once
there.
Following 98f609df1d, this message was no longer sent. Thus unit would
follow their path to its last waypoint and stay there, unable to carry
on or finish the order. UnitMotion now explcitly sends a "MoveFailed"
message.
This still changes behaviour from A23, requiring further revisions to
UnitAI (see D1992 for one such case).
Minohaka tested an earlier version of this change (which incorporated
D1992) and accepted it.

Due to an issue in 4a15cc3b9f, animals incorrectly tried going towards
the roaming point instead of away from it.
With that fixed, MovementUpdate still did not trigger as the min and max
range were the same.
Use -1 as max range (= infinite) instead since we want to move
arbitrarily away.
Having an infinite max range was broken in c219ee54b2, this
re-implements that.
Further, other calls with equal min and max range have been changed
likewise.
This does not entirely fix whales, which run in other problems because
of their large roaming range.

UnitMotion will now send hints that a move may be completed if:

- it isn't and it is in range from its target.

Units in 0 A.D. exhibited a "gliding" behaviour at the end of a
movement, e.g. they switched to the Idle animation and still moved a
little bit.
The reason for this behaviour is that entities check if they reached
their destination after moving. Other components (unitAI mostly) will
then possibly change animations and such, resulting in a movement over
the turn while the entity is possibly now in another animation state
than "move".
Instead, what should be done is checking if the entity has arrived
before moving, so if UnitAI calls StopMoving, then entity won't move at
all on the same turn, and the gliding effect vanishes.
The STATE_STOPPING state is made un-necessary by this change, since this
off-by-one mistake was the reason for its existence. It can be removed
(see downstream).

Move() is generally 4 parts:
- Moving
- Updating our state

VisualActor refers to unit motion's `m_CurSpeed` to know what animation
to display in the special walk mode. However that variable was
inconsistently updated. By making sure we reach that codepath in one
place, we remove opportunities for issues.
This should fix most existing instances of moonwalking, another upstream
diff will fix the rest.

FacePointAfterMoving intends for the unit to face the destination once a
move is done. Since 4fda917f46, stopping is the responsibility of UnitAI
(through a call to StopMoving()). Thus we should move that code in that
function, as this ensures we don't forget to do it and removes
duplications.

The variable is not necessary since having a target is equivalent,

These variables together held the state for the target of UnitMotion, as
set by the MoveTo[X] family of functions.
Wrapping them in a struct reduces the chances that one will accidentally
forget to reset part of the state and makes it explicit in-code that
these are grouped together.
Calling StopMoving() resets this target, which wasn't before and left
the component in an incoherent state.

UnitAI is now solely in charge of moving and stopping, making UnitMotion
behaviour easier to predict, which will ultimately help with unitAI
development. It might temporarily make units more resilient than before
however.
UnitMotion also tells UnitAI that it's arrived with "MoveCompleted"
messages, but these actually could be wrong - unitAI could decide that
we didn't want to stop after all - so change the name for something less
misleading.

Because of the limited precision of our fixed-point numbers, the
timeLeft calculation could sometimes return results above the actual
time left, resulting in units moving a few fixed::epsilons farther than
they should be, which makes them switch to the running animation. This
was rather unstable however, so there was a constant 'flickering'
between walking and running.
If we divide last instead of first in the operation, the errors get
gobbled up by the division and we no longer have this issue.

This changes running speed into a running multiplier (of walk speed).
The advantage is that it simplifies code since you can setup a default
run multiplier at the template level and it'll work for all subsequent
templates, and technologies cannot forget to change it. It makes
specialised unit templates easier to maintain, too.
Formations have a 100 run multiplier which effectively sets their
maximal walking speed at 100
