Goober5000andClaude Fable 5 2b01cebd57 fix AI ships getting permanently stuck after losing or refusing a target (#7736) ...

Generalize the unreleased "$fix target updating with strafe:" ai_profiles flag
into "$fix ai target recovery:", which now also covers two more ways a ship
holding a standing chase order could park in AIM_NONE forever:

* a ship already in AIM_NONE with a standing chase order (attack-any etc.) now
  clears its active goal so the order is re-processed, closing the window where
  retargeting finds a new enemy before the strafe clause can fire
* target selection (find_enemy/get_nearest_objnum) now skips ships outside the
  attacker's actively-pursues list, and ai_chase() drops self-chosen targets it
  refuses, instead of holding a target it will never attack

Retail behavior is unchanged when the flag is disabled; explicit orders on
non-pursued targets are still declined as before.
