Cannon Pawn Orda Mirror

See: https://blog.silverview.buzz/variants/ordamirror . The Hordes feature Cannon Pawns instead of regular pawns. Cannon Pawns can promote to chess Falcons only (as in Orda Mirror). Cannon Pawns move as a king OR they can hop over any adjacent piece to either land on a vacant square behind it (move) or if that landing square is occupied by an enemy piece, the cannon pawn will capture it by displacement. The Cannon Pawns start on rank 7 (not 6). All else is as in Orda Mirror, including Win by Checkmate or Campmate as in Orda Mirror.
