[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #4858] Use terrain_class rather than move_type in AI

[Emmet Hikory]

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #4858 (project freeciv):

In autogame testing with the Classic ruleset, this seems to cause the AI to
use a much wider variety of units.  Especially noteworthy is the use of
Helicopters and Stealth Fighters in the late game, units which previously the
AI mostly ignored (but which can be very good for certain types of roles).

Details:

The AI currently uses move_type selectors when selecting attackers,
bodyguards, hunters, and settlers.  The attached patch replaces these
selectors with ones based on the terrain_class, and confirms the unit can move
on at least some terrain in that class (using the adv.land_move and
adv.sea_move caches).

This doesn't actually fix any of the core nativity issues, but it does mean
that UMT_BOTH units that otherwise meet the selection criteria are more likely
to be considered acceptable for the role, so in rulesets with limited nativity
extensions (undersea tunnels, tanks that can drive over lakes, riverboats,
cantilevered bridges, etc.), the AI will continue to be able to select
suitable units for these roles.

All of this code ought be replaced in the future with a real solution to the
nativity problems inherent in these constructions, but this should improve
things in the short term.
