Documentation fixes. (#1803)
Improve the consistency of the module intros to the most commonly used version (single dash).

Add missing module information (abbreviated where none existed previously).

Fix broken documentation links

Make module names correspond to filenames (and fix links).

Fix typos.

--- **AI** - (R2.2) - Models the process of Ground Controlled Interception (GCI) for airplanes.
--
-- This is a class used in the @{AI.AI_A2A_Dispatcher}.
--
-- ===
--
-- ### Author: **FlightControl**

--
-- @module AI.AI_A2A_Gci
-- @image AI_Ground_Control_Intercept.JPG
--- @type AI_A2A_GCI
-- @extends AI.AI_A2A#AI_A2A
--- Implements the core functions to intercept intruders. Use the Engage trigger to intercept intruders.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia3.JPG)
--
-- The AI_A2A_GCI is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_A2A_GCI process can be started using the **Start** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia4.JPG)
--
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia5.JPG)
--
-- This cycle will continue.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia6.JPG)
--
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia9.JPG)
--
-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia10.JPG)
--
-- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia13.JPG)
--
-- ## 1. AI_A2A_GCI constructor
--
-- * @{#AI_A2A_GCI.New}(): Creates a new AI_A2A_GCI object.
--
-- ## 2. AI_A2A_GCI is a FSM
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia2.JPG)
--
-- ### 2.1 AI_A2A_GCI States
--
-- * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
-- * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
-- * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
-- * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
--
-- ### 2.2 AI_A2A_GCI Events
--
-- * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
-- * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
-- * **@{#AI_A2A_GCI.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
-- * **@{#AI_A2A_GCI.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
-- * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
-- * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
-- * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
-- * **@{#AI_A2A_GCI.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
-- * **@{#AI_A2A_GCI.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
-- * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--
-- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
--
-- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia11.JPG)
--
-- An optional range can be set in meters,
-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
-- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
-- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
-- Use the method @{AI.AI_GCI#AI_A2A_GCI.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.
--
-- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement
--
-- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia12.JPG)
--
-- An optional @{Zone} can be set,
-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
-- Use the method @{AI.AI_CAP#AI_CAP_ZONE.SetEngageZone}() to define that Zone.
