Summary: bug

Distribution:

There is a bug in move_to.c
The array attack_fail is two elements too short. That means that it is
possible to fly from one edge of the galaxy to the other with no
effectiveness penalty. I added two extra values of 50.

There is a conceptual flaw in that movement takes place instantaneously
at the instant of command, regardless of the note in the documentation
to the effect that movement takes effect at year end.

Equally the ban on movement during a pause is not friendly to
beginners. I would prefer to use pause to allow extended time per
move in beginners games.
