Details:
There's currently several issues making hiding/unhiding of units a bit of a
mess:
1. [hide_unit] doesn't persist across save/load; if you use [hide_unit] and
then the player saves the game and loads it again, the unit isn't hidden
anymore.
2. [hide_unit] only takes the location of the unit to hide (x,y), not a full
SUF. It should be changed to take a full SUF (and hide all units matching the
filter).
3. [unhide_unit] should similarly take a SUF and unhide only the units
matching the filter.
4. Whether a unit is hidden or not should be governed by an actual unit
attribute. unit.status.hidden=yes|no (boolean) would do, as it looks like
that key is no longer used by ambushers. [hide_unit] and [unhide_unit] should
simply set and clear that variable. This would fix point 1, as well as allow
WML authors to poke that variable directly if necessary instead of having to
use [hide_unit] and [unhide_unit].
