If you search for is_military_unit() you will find the usages of
NonMil. Summary: either NonMill or attack strength == 0 forbid
attacking. NonMil unit can't be used for martial law. NonMil units
can't capture a city. There are also some references in the goto and
the autoattack code.

We should add new flags for F_MARTIAL_LAW and F_CAPTURE_CITY.
