Summary0019703: Forward-facing requirement now missing from some ranged/magic attacks, allowing you to attack targets behind you

**Expected behavior and actual behavior:**

Expected: the vast majority of the ranged and magic attacks (all of them?) have a requirement where the enemy target had to be in front of you. If you try to attack someone not in front of you then the attack fails.

Actual: at some point in either 2020 or 2021 these requirements have been removed or aren't being checked, allowing you to hit targets behind you. You can now run directly away from people at full speed and still attack the person behind you without needing to turn.

Tested and confirmed on a Squig Herder and Zealot.

**Steps to reproduce the problem:**

Run away from a target and attack it with a long-range attack. With the Squig Herder and Zealot at least, the attack will still succeed even though it should fail as the target is behind you. Discord chat says that this also affects the Shadow Warrior, but I cannot confirm this myself as I do not have the class.

Instant cast abilities work like this I believe.

It's also doing it with cast-time abilities.
