When the player declines to abandon a sector, we write back stale land
units, triggering a generation oops. Any updates made by other
threads meanwhile are wiped out, triggering a seqno mismatch oops.
The culprit is lnd_abandon_askyn(): when the player declines, it
returns without calling check_sect_ok(), check_land_ok(). Broken in
commit 7c1b166, v4.3.33. Fix it.

MALLOC_CHECK_=3 makes glibc check for memory allocation programming
errors. It's the factory default, but set it anyway just in case
someone disabled it for speed.
Non-zero MALLOC_PERTURB_ makes glibc wipe memory value on allocation
and deallocation. The actual value determines the bit pattern. Set
it to the value of environment variable EMPIRE_CHECK_MALLOC_PERTURB or
else a pseudo-random number, and record it in sandbox/malloc-perturb.

Telling the player his torpedo "slams into land" can give a clue on

This partly reverts a change made in Empire 2.3 to tell a submarine's
opponent only that he's dealing with a "sub" instead of the
submarine's UID and type. Hiding submarines is done by prsub().
Uses:
* Command torpedo: defender depth charges or torpedoes an attacking
submarine
If you can attack a submarine reactively, you should be able to
attack it actively, too. But that requires its UID. Reveal it
again, but keep the type hidden.
* Command fire: defender fires back at a submarine using its deck gun
Submarines need to surface to fire deck guns, so they shouldn't be
treated any different than surface ships. Revert Empire 2.3's
change entirely there, i.e. defender learns type as well as UID.
* Command torpedo: attacking submarine hits its target
Keep the submarine hidden.
* Commands torpedo and fire: attacking ship hits a submarine
The attacker passed the UID as command argument, so it doesn't
matter whether we print it or not. Printing it is simpler to code,
so do that.

Group retreat still doesn't work, because when boar() passes a sunk
ship to retreat_ship(), its owner has been reset to POGO already.
This makes it impossible to find the group to retreat. Instead, it
attempts to retreat ships that sank in the same sector with group
retreat orders and with the same fleet letter assigned. If any exist,
shp_may_nav() oopses, and prevents actual retreat of these ghosts.
The other retreat conditions don't have this problem, because they
call putship(), which resets the owner, only after retreat_ship().
Making boar() work the same is not practical. Instead, add an owner
parameter to retreat_ship(), and for symmetry also to retreat_land().

The root cause is in put_combat(): after it sinks the ship, it calls
att_get_combat(), which treats a combat object with a dead ship as an
error, tells the attacker "not in the same sector!", and "recovers" by
putting the combat object into an error state. Too hard for me to fix
right now, so put in a FIXME comment.
The error state trips up retreat. boar() uses the victim's ship
number in the combat object to find the ship it may have to retreat.
Putting the combat object into an error state sets this number to
zero. If that ship exists, and isn't owned by the attacker, and has
RET_BOARDED set, it retreats. Oops. Broken when Empire 2 factored
out common combat code.
Fix by saving the ship number while it's still valid.
This uncovers the next bug: we now pass a dead ship to retreat_ship().
Oopses since commit f743f37. Its commit message says "Harmless, but
avoid it anyway." Going to revert.

Instead of listing all the ships or land units ordered, just print how
many got ordered, and describe the order, like this:
[0:640] Command : retr 2/3 bg itb
2 ships ordered to retreat along path bg when injured, torpedoed, bombed
[0:640] Command : retr 2 h
1 ship ordered not to retreat

Optional arguments can save typing. Mandatory arguments are more
easily discoverable: just run the command and answer its prompts.
Empire traditionally uses optional arguments only for expert features.
Consider mission:
[0:640] Command : mission
Ship, plane or land unit (p,sh,la)? s
ship(s)? 0
Mission (int, sup, osup, dsup, esc, res, air, query, clear)? int
operations point? .
frg frigate Early Bird(#0) on an interdiction mission, centered on 21,-3, radius 0
1 ship
Compare retreat:
[0:638] Command : retreat
ship(s)? 0
shp# ship type x,y fl path as flt? flags
0 frg frigate 21,-3
1 ship
Arguments are not discoverable this way.
Change retreat to work like mission: make the second argument
mandatory, and if it's 'q', show retreat orders, else treat it as path
and ask for conditions:
[0:637] Command : retreat
ship(s)? 0
Retreat path, or q to query? jj
Retreat conditions ('?' to list available ones)? i
shp# ship type x,y fl path as flt? flags
0 frg frigate 21,-3 jj i
1 ship
To reduce smart client and script breakage, keep retreat with one
argument working as before, but print a deprecation warning.

"torped" comes from symbol table retreat_flags. Visible in output of
edit, retreat, lretreat and xdump. Tolerable in edit, but player
commands like retreat should really use proper words.
Fixing it in retreat_flags changes xdump output, thus risks breaking
clients. Do it anyway, since no known client recognizes this
particular symbol value.

Much of the retreat code duplicates navigate and march code. Worse,
retreat's version is full of bugs:
* Land units can sometimes retreat when they couldn't march: while on
the trading block (forbidden with march since 4.0.9), crewless
(likewise since 4.0.0), kidnapped in a foreign sector (inconsistent
since land units were added in Chainsaw 3), loaded on a ship
(likewise) or a land unit (inconsistent since trains were added in
4.0.0).
* Ships can retreat while on the trading block (forbidden with
navigate since 4.0.9)
* Land units can't retreat into foreign sectors even though they could
march there, namely when sector is allied or the land unit is a spy.
They can march there since 4.0.0.
* Land units keep their fortification on retreat. Has been that way
since retreat was added in Chainsaw.
Then there's group retreat. It's basically crazy:
* It triggers retreat for everyone in the same fleet or army, one
after the other, regardless of retreat path, conditions (including
group retreat), or even location. The latter is quite abusable
since retreats aren't interdicted. Has been that way since retreat
was added in Chainsaw.
* Group retreat fails to trigger when the originally retreating ship
or land unit has no retreat path left when it's done. Broken in
commit b860123.
Finally, the reporting to the owner is sub-par:
* When a retreat is cut short by insufficient mobility or
obstructions, its end sector isn't reported, leaving the player
guessing.
* Non-retreats can be confusingly reported as retreat to the same
sector. Can happen when the retreat path starts with 'h' (obscure
feature to suppress a single retreat), or when a group retreat
includes a ship or land unit without retreat orders.
* Interaction with mines during retreat is reported before the retreat
itself, which can be quite confusing.
* Sweeping landmines isn't reported at all.
* Much code and much bulletin text is dedicated to reporting what
caused the retreat, even though it should be perfectly obvious.
Rewrite this on top of common navigate and march code. Reuse of
common code fixes the "can retreat when it couldn't navigate/march"
and the "can't retreat into sectors it could navigate or march into"
bugs, and improves the reporting.
One special case isn't a bug fix but a rule change: mountains. The
old code forbids that explicitly, and it's clearly intentional, if
undocumented. The new code allows it by not doing anything special.
Turn group retreat into an actual group retreat: everyone in the same
fleet and sector with the the same retreat path and group retreat
condition joins the group. The group retreats together, just like in
navigate and march.
Take care to always report the end sector. When retreat is
impossible, report "can't retreat". When retreat is partial, report
"and stays in X,Y". When it's complete, report "stopped at X,Y".

It sets the new type, then falls through to setting tech if the new
type requires more than the plane currently has. Two problems with
that:
* If we fall through, the plane is invalid: it has less tech than
required. Its only use before it gets overwritten is pln_set_tech()
calling pln_range_max() to find out whether the range is limited.
Passes a negative number to log(). Not fatal, but pln_set_tech()'s
range adjustment is unlikely to work.
* If we don't fall through, the range may still need adjustment,
either up (to keep it unlimited if the new type has more range), or
down (to keep it within the new type's shorter range).
Screwed up when the key was added in commit 6b0b6f17. Fix by
adjusting tech first, then setting the type, then adjusting the range.
The latter relies on pln_set_tech() coping with ranges exceeding the
type's maximum, which it does.
Change the other type edits similarly for consistency.
When a type edit triggers a tech change, the tech change is now
silent.
