So far there are many commands for locating entities, but few for locating robots.

A scout command would answer whether any (visible) robot exists along a direct line of sight in a cardinal direction.

Introducing such a command with "limited power"---in this case, returning a Boolean rather than some richer type, and requiring that the user position themselves "inline" with the target robot---facilitates more interesting challenges.

Furthermore, a new property of entities, Opaque, should be introduced, which can block the line of sight for this command.

Closes #1207

This PR also involves some refactoring that simplifies more return values in `Step.hs` with `asValue`.
