Stop AI from clogging up droid attack queues

When AI sends massive armies to attack, they often get clogged up and stuck completely by droids on their way back to repair. This patch fixes this problem by introducing a hack for AI only that detects if a droid is stuck, and if so, resets its current order.

Attached is a savegame to demonstrate that the patch works, to dramatic effect. I am playing alone against 7 allied AIs on Miza, and it seems like I am keeping them at bay... until you look outside the base (use vision cheat). Compile in patch, and watch the AI tear me apart in short order.

I do not claim this to be a "good" or "well designed" fix, only that it works.

Also attached is another fix for a bug I found during testing.
