I don't understand.  Of course choose_random_tech can set A_FUTURE, if
it's reachable.  If it's not reachable we don't want to choose it anyway.

You can see this in action in any late game.  Once all techs are found
and there's no goal, choose_random_tech chooses a new tech for you each
turn.  And it always chooses A_FUTURE.
