Actually there was code to do 3), but it was buggy. I can't quite wrap 
my mind around what the coder (possibly me) was thinking.

Fixing it to 3) would require minimal changes, but I made some bigger 
changes to 2) as I liked it better.

This patch transfers the unit to an ally who has transporter capacity 
on the tile. We might want to make further changes later to make sure 
the right ally gets the unit. That should be doable as an incremental 
change on top of this patch.
