Previously, the ClosestTo and PositionClosestTo existed to perform a simple distance based check to choose the closest location from a choice of locations to a single other location. For some functions this is sufficient, but for many functions we want to then move between the locations. If the location selected is in fact unreachable (e.g. on another island) then we would not want to consider it.
We now introduce ClosestToIgnoringPath for checks where we don't care about a path existing, e.g. weapons hitting nearby targets. When we do care about paths, we introduce ClosestToWithPathFrom and ClosestToWithPathTo which will check that a path exists. The PathFrom check will make sure one of the actors from the list can make it to the single target location. The PathTo check will make sure the single actor can make it to one of the target locations. This difference allows us to specify which actor will be doing the moving. This is important as a path might exists for one actor, but not another. Consider two islands with a hovercraft on one and a tank on the other. The hovercraft can path to the tank, but the tank cannot path to the hovercraft.
We also introduce WithPathFrom and WithPathTo. These will perform filtering by checking for valid paths, but won't select the closest location.
By employing the new methods that filter for paths, we fix various behaviour that would cause actors to get confused. Imagine an islands map, by checking for paths we ensure logic will locate reachable locations on the island, rather than considering a location on a nearby island that is physically closer but unreachable. This fixes AI squad automation, and other automated behaviours such as rearming.

- Remaining rules are treated as part of OpenRA style.
CaptureDelay is defined per-trait, and the shortest
delay will be used if multiple traits are enabled.
CapturingCondition and BeingCapturedCondition are
global, and are granted when any capture is in progress.
The capture period is defined from when the unit reaches
the cell next to the target, and either starts to wait
or enter the target through to when the capture succeeds
or fails.
Automatically formatted all files via VS. This generally corrects indentation, removes trailing whitespace and corrects misplaced tabs or spaces. Manually tweaked a few files where required.
