I think this is pretty straightforward. So what would this patch do?
 - change the attack field in the ruleset to a list
 - change the attack_strength field in struct unit_type to an array
 - network support for the previous point
 - extend function in common/combat to take the defender
 (base_)get_attack_power for example
 - update various output function (client help, client unit info, ...)
 - add logic that you can't attack a layer for which you have attack==0

TODO:
 - change AI to cope with this (the AI may use the average attack
 power for the start)
