Add plannable tankers.
This Pull Request lets users plan Tanker flights. Features: - Introduction of `Refueling` flight type. - Tankers can be purchased at airbases and carriers. - Tankers get planned by AI. - Tankers are planned from airbases and at aircraft carriers. - Tankers aim to be at high, fast, and 70 miles from the nearest threat. (A10s won't be able to tank) - Tankers racetrack orbit for one hour. - Optional Tickbox to enable legacy tankers. - S-3B Tanker added to factions. - KC-130 MPRS added to factions. - Kneeboard shows planned tankers, their tacans, and radios. Limitations: - AI doesn't know whether to plan probe and drogue or boom refueling tankers. - User can't choose tanker speed. Heavily loaded aircraft may have trouble. - User can't choose tanker altitude. A-10s will not make it to high altitude. Problems: - Tanker callsigns do not increment, see attached image. (Investigated: Need to use `FlyingType.callsign_dict`, instead of just `FlyingType.callsign`. This seems like it might be significant work to do.). - Having a flight of two or more tankers only spawns one tanker. - Let me know if you have a solution, or feel free to commit one. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/74509817/120909602-d7bc3680-c633-11eb-80d7-eccd4e095770.png

"text": "The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare. In the late 1990s, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to a carrier battle group. A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, long-range, multi-mission aircraft, it carried automated weapon systems and was capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of its characteristic sound, it was nicknamed the \"War Hoover\" after the vacuum cleaner brand. The S-3 was phased out from front-line fleet service aboard aircraft carriers in January 2009, with its missions taken over by aircraft like the P-3C Orion, P-8 Poseidon, Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk and Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet",
