Summary

In preparation for a future patch where UnitMotion will no longer stop on its own (fixing a large number of cases where units get stuck), I need unitAI to handle its own stopping.

However, this highlights that most states don't actually order moving - usually the Order calls "MoveTo..." and the state just assume that.
This seems like putting logic in the wrong place - the State should decide if its want to move, and where, based on its order. This also applies to other state changes that orders where doing (see Unpacking, ungarrisonning).

This diff cleans things up: Orders are now (almost) solely in charge of accepting / refusing the order and that's it.

(This incorporates a resource-returning code repetition cleanup too)

Test Plan

Check out the logic of the change and the idea that Orders shouldn't actually change our UnitAI state.

wraitii retitled this revision from UnitAI cleanup - Move logic from Orders to States // Handle motion more explicitly to UnitAI cleanup - Move logic from Orders to States.

Remove Motion-related changes.

This is now solely a cleanup of some orders. I'm wondering how far we should go, most of the "FinishOrder" logic that's currently in orders could be moved to states (or new "CONSIDERING" sub-states I guess), but I'm not sure that's desirable.

Err actually this will infinite-loop if the reason for MoveTo failing is that we can't move (and not that the target doesn't exist). I guess I need to explicitly check for that case.

Abandoning this under the assumption it was superseded by a bunch of things, then bunch of fixes on these things, and so on.

I think we need to do a pass like that for packing though.
