 * Pathfinder algorithms.

 * There are two different modes: a tile-based pathfinder that works over long distances and
 * accounts for terrain costs but ignore units, and a 'short' vertex-based pathfinder that
 * provides precise paths and avoids other units.
 *
 * Both use the same concept of a Goal: either a point, circle or square.
 * (If the starting point is inside the goal shape then the path will move outwards
 * to reach the shape's outline.)
 *
 * The output is a list of waypoints.
