Gate enemies behind a detection range instead of instant omniscient pursuit (#69)

Browse source 
Chasers (EnemyPursuitComponent) and snipers (EnemyStandoffComponent)
used to beeline/close in from anywhere on the map the instant they
spawned - no matter how far the fleet was, which read as omniscient
rather than alert. Both now sit idle until the fleet is within their
own detection_range. Artillery's slow drift is gated the same way, but
reuses its own existing fire_range rather than a new tunable - outside
its firing envelope it has nothing to be drifting toward yet.

The enemy mothership deliberately keeps the opposite behaviour: it is
meant to read as a persistent, unavoidable stalking threat, not a
local sentry, so it gets its own EnemyPursuitComponentMothership.tscn
variant with an effectively unlimited detection_range - the same
scene-variant pattern EnemySpawnerComponentChaser/Artillery already
use for per-definition property overrides on a shared component script.
