6dc189b7d1 Rearrange various API surfaces related to pathfinding.
The existing APIs surfaces for pathfinding are in a wonky shape. We rearrange various responsibilities to better locations and simplify some abstractions that aren't providing value.

- IPathSearch, BasePathSearch and PathSearch are combined into only PathSearch. Its role is now to run a search space over a graph, maintaining the open queue and evaluating the provided heuristic function. The builder-like methods (WithHeuristic, Reverse, FromPoint, etc) are removed in favour of optional parameters in static creation methods. This removes confusion between the builder-aspect and the search function itself. It also becomes responsible for applying the heuristic weight to the heuristic. This fixes an issue where an externally provided heuristic ignored the weighting adjustment, as previously the weight was baked into the default heuristic only.
- Reduce the IGraph interface to the concepts of nodes and edges. Make it non-generic as it is specifically for pathfinding, and rename to IPathGraph accordingly. This is sufficient for a PathSearch to perform a search over any given IGraph. The various customization options are concrete properties of PathGraph only.
- PathFinder does not need to deal with disposal of the search/graph, that is the caller's responsibility.
- Remove CustomBlock from PathGraph as it was unused.
- Remove FindUnitPathToRange as it was unused.
- Use PathFinder.NoPath as the single helper to represent no/empty paths.
