feat: Add MovingAI pathing for NPCs without combatAI (#1509)

* remove goto

* Update MovementAIComponent.cpp

* convert to PathWaypoint

Easier for usage with paths

* add path parsing

* ref removal, simplification of work

* it works

* Update MovementAIComponent.cpp

* disable pathing for combat

we just need it for npcs for now, combat ai can be done later

* fixed stuttery enemies

wow

* start at ramped up speed

* add pausing and resuming

* Update MovementAIComponent.cpp

* Update MovementAIComponent.h

* Update CMakeLists.txt
