Sorry, I should have referenced the original email.

This is the second half of evan_3_13.10, which needed revision.  Arend did
the defense half, this is the attack half.  It converts all the tactics
attack helper functions into move generators (eg special_attack2 ->
special_attack2_moves).  This makes the code more consistent, and also
prevents duplicate moves being tried in the few cases where the helper
functions generate the same moves as other parts of the code.
