Let vehicles reverse and infantry backpedal

Short retreats now keep a unit facing forward instead of forcing it to turn around.

I gave vehicles reverse movement and infantry a short backpedal. A nearby destination behind a unit can now make it back away while keeping its front pointed forward.

Vehicles reverse more slowly than they drive forwards, and longer journeys still turn the unit around. Retreating combat patterns can use the same behaviour.

The footage compares a tank, jeep, walker and soldier taking short rearward orders. Their movement and animation follow the native game rules.
