6.3.8 Territorial moves

Any move that increases territory gets a move reason. This is the expand territory move reason. That move reason is added by the `e' patterns in patterns/patterns.db. Similarly the `E' patterns attempt to generate or mitigate a moyo, which is a region of influence not yet secure territory, yet valuable. Such a pattern sets the “expand moyo” move reason.
