If abandoning a group is done by a move that creates a new group, in the
opponent's sphere of influence, then this is an experimental influence
fault. I am now back from traveling, and I also have rough idea how to
resolve this problem. (I will try to filter out such "invasion" moves with
a few heuristics, and assign them a negative strategical value in
value_moves. That value will depend on our and opponent's influence at the
point where we want to play. Any suggestions welcome.)

This patch might take a few days, as it obviously needs quite some tuning.
