[7668] Cleanup In CreatureAI function descriptions and AttackStart/AttackedBy use. Author: VladimirMangos

* Use AI::AttackStart calls only in case explicit request creature attack from core or AI code "attack it if can".
      Like taunt, pet handler attack command.
    * Use AI::AttackedBy for reaction at hostile action "do something at hostile action"
      Like non-dot damage, swing, negative spell landing, or fade fear/etc.
      And provided by default call AttackStart if no current target.

    This fix some problems, like:
    * Civilian will react propertly at attack by another creature (not pet or player).
    * Will not cases (at least triggred by core) when attack target start run to attacker before any real hostile action apply.

*Note: AttackBy is still disabled until proved useful to TC.
