rP22566: UnitMotion - reject paths that would not take the unit closer to the goal than…
Trac Tickets
#3144
Summary

(This is an additional UM fix, not originally part of the rewrite)

This helps with #3144 and units not going idle when ordered to clump together.

By rejecting paths that would not take the unit closer to the goal than it is, we can avoid the case where a unit at A finds a short path to B, goes there, gets stuck, finds a new short path to A, etc. ad infinitum.

It doesn't completely fix the problem since two units moving might still occasionally become stuck against one another, but it makes it rarer (unit pushing would probably finish solving this).

Test Plan

Order a large groups of units to walk somewhere, order them to gather then return to a dropsite.

Slight changes - make the function const, pass it a goal directly, explicit a few things.

PathGoal doesn't have DistanceToPointSquared, so scratch that for now.

Successful build - Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
