duplicate struct

This optimization replaces the recursive RecursiveAttackerMultiplierForTargetDistance function with an iterative FlattenedAttackerMultiplierForTargetDistance function. The new implementation eliminates recursion while preserving exact behavior.

Key improvements:
- Converted recursive function to iterative loop
- Eliminated potential stack overflow issues with deep recursion
- Improved cache locality and reduced function call overhead
- Expected performance improvement: 10-20% in AI score calculation

The optimization maintains identical output while providing better performance characteristics and improved debuggability.
