[edit] x0_inc_henai

This is a wrapper overtop of the 'generic AI' system with custom behavior for Henchmen.<br /><br />

[edit] BENEFITS:

- Easier to isolate henchmen behavior.<br /> - Easier to debug COMBAT-AI because the advanced Henchmen behaviour won't be in those scripts.<br /><br />

[edit] CONS:

- Code duplication. The two 'combat round' functions will share a lot of code because the old-AI still has to allow any legacy henchmen to work.<br /><br /> NOTE: This file includes x0_i0_henchman.
