(38a) dwarfs wont use closest dump

I don't know if its a bug or a missing feature but if you have multiple garbage dumps dwarfs seem to only use the most recently created one regardless of distance, very annoying since i created a garbage chute with a dump on every floor.

Allow me to bump this and report that it is still annoying me here in v0.28.181.40d11. Although I've done some testing and it seems that dwarfs like to dump not in the most recently created dump, but in the closest dump on the X and Y axis only. Meaning, if I dump a stone on z0 and there's a dump stockpile 10 tiles down a hall and a pile on z7 directly over the stone, they'll go to the z7 pile no matter how long it takes to get there.

This is severely affecting how busy my dwarfs are.
