Added a pydcs extension for the IDF Mods Project F-16I mod version 2.2, utilizing the pylon_injector written for the CJS Superbug mod support. Includes banner by Schmokedpancake.
The mod alters the stock F-16C aircraft, which requires a different approach when injecting the mod information to pydcs. The extension changes the F-16C parameters by setattr(F_16C_50, "fuel_max", 2585.48), adds new weapons to the existing pylons and adds five new ones (for example, the mod allows internal ECM equipment in the dorsal spine, freeing the central hardpoint for a fuel tank).
The mod also adds additional Vipers: F-16D (both with and without the dorsal spine, GE and P&W engines) and the stock F-16C Block 50 under a different DCS unit ID.
Also added a separate mod_payloads directory under resources which can be used when aircraft added by mods use the same "unitType" in the loadout lua files. The loadouts are only loaded if the mod is enabled (uses the existing inject_custom_payloads function).
The mod settings are now saved in the Liberation save inside the Faction, so loading the aircraft icons, banners, loadouts etc and the pydcs injection can be re-applied on game load.
If the user's DCS directory is not configured correctly this will
degrade by not showing an icon. Otherwise (and typically) we get nicer
looking icons for each theater, and we don't have to make these for each
new map.
The new behavior is as follows for SAMs:
No damaged units: fully capable (green)
Damaged but still operational: present (no bar)
Not fully destroyed but inoperable: damaged (yellow)
Fully destroyed: destroyed (red)
And for all other TGOs:
Fully destroyed: destroyed (red)
Any missing units: damaged (yellow)
No missing units: present (no bar)
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2438.
Fixed (zombie) carrier killed in state.json but always respawning in-game, issue #2405. GenericCarrierGenerator.generate() will now generate the ship group with an array that only contains alive ship units, just like GroundObjectGenerator.generate() has previously done.
Carrier groups will now also show up as destroyed/damaged on the map when the carrier is sunk.
This field is optional. Omitting the field (or using only a date instead
of a full timestamp) will use the old behavior of picking a random
daylight hour to start the campaign.
This doesn't include any UI in the new game wizard yet. This is only a
campaign yaml option.

Squashing 8 commits by DanAlbert:
- Track theater in ControlPoint.
Simplifies finding the owning theater of a control point. Not used yet.
- Clean some cruft out of FlightPlanBuilder.
- Clean up silly some exception handling.
- Move FlightPlan instantiation into the builder.
I'm working on moving the builder to be owned by the Flight, which will simplify callers that need to create (or recreate) flight plans for a flight.
- Simplify IBuilder constructor.
We have access to the theater via the flight's departure airbase now.
- Move FlightPlan creation into Flight.
For now this is just a callsite cleanup. Later, this will make it easier
to separate unscheduled and scheduled flights into different classes without complicating the layout/scheduling.
- Remove superfluous constructors.
- Remove unused Package field.
- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
This will allow to automatically calculate the orientation of TGOs which are required to head to the conflict if the campaign designer has not defined a specific heading in the campaign miz. This is for example required for silkworm, scuds or some SAM systems like the SA-11.
Added the should_head_to_conflict property to the TGO
