Fixes a1dc9cadd8: if the speed doesn't change, UnitMotion doesn't update
the visual actor. Unfortunately, if another component has in the
meantime reset the animation to 'Idle', the unit will now move while
Idle. This can happen when leaving formation to do something else,
though it'srare.
This fixes that by instead always calling VisualActor, which does its
own checking to avoid redundancy. It's a bit less efficient, but not too
much.
Note that this relies on UnitMotion::UpdateMovementState being called
after any UnitAI code that could reset the animation to IDLE.

To hide network latency, MP turns send commands not for the next turn
but N turns after that (introduced in c684c211a2).
Further, MP turn length was increased to 500ms compared to 200ms SP
turns (introduced in 6a15b78c98).
Unfortunately, increasing MP turn length has negative consequences:
- makes pathfinding/unit motion much worse & unit behaviour worse in
general.
- makes the game more 'lag-spikey', since computations are done less
often, but thus then can take more time.
This diff essentially reverts 6a15b78c98, instead increasing
COMMAND_DELAY from 2 to 4 in MP. This:
- Reduces the 'inherent command lag' in MP from 1000ms to 800ms
- Increases the lag range at which MP will run smoothtly from 500ms to
600ms
- makes SP and MP turns behave identically again, removing the
hindrances described above.
As a side effect, single-player was not actually using COMMAND_DELAY,
this is now done (can be used to simulate MP command lag).

Following 847f3a9995,
Units in formation can get very small movement offsets, that nonetheless

However, following 847f3a9995, PossiblyAtDestination fires() only after
the first rotation, so the unit ends up 'waltzing' in place.
Before that diff, the unit never even moved since PossiblyAtDestination
fired straight away.
This is also noticeable since IDLE formation re-order their members
since 71a61d5f50.
The fix here is to ignore rotation time for very small offsets, which

D3230 / 847f3a9995 introduced range checking at turn start, and removed
a hack that made units predict the position of their target too far
ahead. This worked fine when in "straight movement" mode, unfortunately
I failed to recognise that ranged units would never use that mode. This
meant that ranged-unit chasing was broken.
There is a straightforward fix however, since we can simply change
TryGoingStraightToTarget to be used by ranged units. It fixes the issue
efficiently and improves movement for ranged units in general, so it
probably should have been done from the start.

- Because units slow down when turning, and JPS paths often begin with a

This was SVN commit r24800.
Units movement is currently "all or nothing". This means that a chasing
entity that moves fast enough is likely to collide with its target, if
the latter is moving also. This means that it might fail to get in range
if the max range is smaller than the movement speed over a turn.
This happens to be very much the case in MP, as cavalry range is 4,
melee cav speed is ~20 and turns are 500ms.
This problem depends on which unit moves first (i.e. which unit is
lowest-ID).
To fix this, ignore the obstruction of the target, if it is moving, when
moving. This however means sometimes chasers will 'overshoot' and block
their target pathing, making the chase easier than it probably should
be.
Fleeing units don't suffer from this problem since they also ignore
their target (and their code handles it).
This new problem introduced in this diff is heavily dependent on the
exact speeds and ranges at play, and a further diff will improve the
situation to acceptable levels.

This was SVN commit r24798.
Unit Motion currently checks if the unit is at destination during the
MT_Update_Motion* step, which happens late in the turn (notably, after
Timer.js) and moreover happens while entities are being moved (e.g.
entities with lower IDs have moved already, entities with higher IDs
have yet to do so).
This changes UnitMotion to instead check at turn start, which:
- benefits from in-turn path computations for more fluid movement
- ensure that distance checks aren't done against an entity that has
already moved for the turn.
The latter issue led to units failing to get in range of their target
when chasing them, in some situations.
As a side effect, this means that UnitAI move requests always take one
turn to succeed, so orders should be updated to check for range (or
they'll waste a turn). This is done for garrisoning, other orders were
already doing so.
Also includes a small tweak to avoid units rotating randomly when they
have no movement to accomplish.

Differential Revision: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3461
This was SVN commit r24778.
Units sometimes ignored targets that entered their LoS. The cause is
d0fc8ff67d: range queries returned units farther away, and those units
might actually be out of range if distance is computed center-to-center,
which both UnitAI and LOS do. This meant that code relying on range
query updates was possibly broken, and indeed units missed things (see
ticket).
This introduces a boolean to switch between pre-d0fc8ff67d behaviour
(entity-as-point, center-to-center range queries) and post-d0fc8ff67d
(entities-as-circumscribing-circle, edge-to-edge range queries).
The former is used for UnitAI (where the new behaviour bugged), auras
(where varying structure sizes made it awkward) and build

This improves behaviour when units need to go around a concave obstacle.
They would tend to clump inside the 'dead-end' before realising they
needed to go around. This was rather easy to trigger on Acropolis. See
included Unit Motion Integration Test.
The cause is the logic that removed the next long waypoint when
obstructed. While that behaviour is desirable, removing too many
waypoints means the unit tries to short-path, using a small domain
range, to a goal that's impassable, meaning they go as close as they can
in Euclidian distance, i.e. towards the dead end.
This changes that behaviour by only deleting waypoints within a certain
distance from the entity, scaling with search-space range. It's tricky
to find a good compromise between performance and behaviour here, but
the values I've picked seem OK.
However, the fact that the entity would ultimately remove all waypoints
and thus trigger a full path recomputation was actually a feature,
inherited from D2754 / 892f97743b. This diff therefore handles that
explicitly, doing so on a more regular basis to behave better overall.
As a further cleanup, "m_FailedPathComputations" is incremented in
HandleObstructedMove, as it is quite possible to never increment it in
PathResult despite not getting actionnable paths. This thus renames it
to m_FailedMovements, and uses the opportunity to clean up PathResult(),
by only having one path for both short and long-range paths. Further,
PathResult now does not immediately request new paths, leaving that to
Move(), to avoid requesting transient paths that aren't actionnable.
This also makes it possible to revert 9e41ff39fc. It requires increasing
the MAX_FAILED variable, or more units get stuck as they reach the max
more often.
The search-space expansion is slightly slowed, and with a little more
delay, as a performance optimisation. From testing, this doesn't impact
real movement much as units short paths tend to be invalidated by the
next turn, as other units move, anyways.
Clarify comment around the vertex-pathfinder search-space bounds hack,
and ensure it isn't used for the very worst cases of units being stuck,
as it could be a pessimisation then.
Finally, this explicits a 2011 hack where if the long-pathfinder fails
to return a valid path the goal's center is used directly. This happens
when the goal is unreachable to the long-pathfinder, which may be
because it is actually unreachable or because only the short-pathfinder
can reach it. In those situations, the hack allows a last-ditch attempt
at reaching it before failing to move entirely. Performance wise, this
is faster overall for actually unreachable goals, since it skips all the
intermediate steps. For reachable goals, it might be occasionally
slower, but that case is quite rare (certainly rarer than unreachable
goals).
