Description:

Checks if a unit is fleeing.

Notes:

Fleeing only affects AI led groups.
Only the group as a whole can flee (or not).
The courage of the AI group is based on the group's leader courage subskill.
Each group has a max strength (summed "armor" of all infantry units - plus armor when inside vehicles).
If the group losses by injury/damage or death/destruction are higher than the max strength, multiplied by leader's courage or allowFleeing level , then the group will start fleeing.
As result primarily the AI flees to a nearby "supply point" (some friendly units - preferably with medic or engineer, or a vehicle with repair/ammo/fuel cargo). Alternatively it will try to find a safe position within a 600m radius from the initial waypoint (danger, distance, amount of cover positions are taken into account).
After the fleeing has been finished the group's initial strength is reset.
Fleeing units in combatMode red, will be set to yellow when fleeing to avoid engaging enemies while doing so.
While fleeing, the group leader will be set to green, to avoid giving engage or fire orders, unless in combatMode blue already. Also speedMode is set to full.
When reaching their flee point/destination, they will change to combatMode yellow and speedMode normal.
With allowFleeing one can make unit's flee earlier (or essentially never flee). Apply it, overrides the courage subskill influence.
