Optimize AutoTarget.ChooseTarget.

Avoid using LINQ for filtering, grouping and dictionary building. Instead, we do these ourselves to reduce overhead.

Actors are checked for AutoTargetIgnoreInfo (rather than the trait) since info checks are marginally faster. This check can now be done immediately to allow us to skip such actors right away.

The ClosestTo calculation is now only run on the group on actors for the selected armament, rather than all potential armaments.
