Cataclysm-dda: Counters stun-lock the player

[Kelenius]

Describe the bug

If a character capable of counterattacking gets attacked multiple times, they can get locked into counters, doing nothing but counterattacking for several turns in a row.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Load the attached save.
2. Press 5 a few times, maybe walk into the zombie crowd, watching the time. It doesn't happen every time, if the zombies die before the lock is triggered, reload the save.

Expected behavior

Not this.

Screenshots

Pressing 5 once (note the time):

Additional thoughts: even the way it is intended to work, wasting moves on a counter may be undesirable, e.g. if the survivor is escaping a horde of zombies, he doesn't want to waste any amount of movies attacking them. Maybe a better way to handle counters would be to mark/highlight the zombies that make attacks that open them for counters, and make counters performable by attacking marked zombies.

Can confirm. I spent 4 minutes roundhouse kicking ants at a military outpost after walking up some stairs. It seems like a high encumbrance is part of the cause. With 100 torso encumbrance and 20 on other bodyparts it takes 30 seconds if a giant ant attacks you compared to the 1 second at low encumbrance.
