rP19356: Petra: Initial Capture The Relic support

Summary

D152 introduces a "Capture The Relic" victory condition, where players must capture all relics on the map and keep them for a certain time.

Because AI players have access to the location of every entity on the map, there will have to be a delay set whenever Petra tries to collect a gaia-owned relic. This "searching for relics" behavior will be handled in another diff.

Test Plan

Petra will assign guards to relics and try to capture the relics of players it targets. It will move any relics it capture to its closest base.

Thanks for the patch.
In addition to the inline comments, we could have some changes in the diplomacyManager (for another patch): in lastmanstanding, when turning against an ally, choose preferably the one with the max relics (and also in wonder mode, turn against the most advanced one on the wonder countdown if any)

binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/ai/petra/attackManager.js
366 ↗	(On Diff #850)	would be better to initialise at 0 as the counts are >= 0
367 ↗	(On Diff #850)	already done in line 332, or rename this variable enemyRelic by symmetry with enemyWonder above.
375 ↗	(On Diff #850)	should be if (relicsCount > maxRelicsOwned) THEN maxRelicsOwned = relicsCount AND enemyPlayer = i otherwise (if you keep the continue), you must test that relicsCount>0
380 ↗	(On Diff #850)	as you loop only on non-gaia player, !enemyPlayer is enough (still to keep symmetry with wonder).
binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/ai/petra/gameTypeManager.js
174 ↗	(On Diff #850)	wouldn't it be more logical to also move that line in the new removeGuardsFromxxx function?
243 ↗	(On Diff #850)	the test on ent should always be done, but currently not done for relics.
505 ↗	(On Diff #850)	could be merged with 503 (still to keep symmetry between all game types :-)

Thank you mimo for the comments, I will update the diff soon.

binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/ai/petra/attackManager.js
380 ↗	(On Diff #850)	I was planning to set i to 0 so that gaia was included, as the AI will target the relics and then switch to targeting a different player once capturing all of the gaia relics, but I'm not sure if there might be some unintended consequences from targeting gaia like this? In any case, I think there should be a lag time, probably dependent on difficulty, that causes the AI to capture gaia relics infrequently.
binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/ai/petra/gameTypeManager.js
174 ↗	(On Diff #850)	I assumed that there might be some case in the future where all guards have to unassigned at once while still keeping the criticalEnt in the Map, but I will change it.
505 ↗	(On Diff #850)	OK, yes, I will do this :)

Apply mimo's comments.
