* Updated Irondome support to IDF Assets Pack V1.1, which includes the David's Sling.
* Added an Israel 2017 faction with the David's Sling.
* IDF Assets Pack air defence presets and assets are now correctly removed from the faction when the mod is disabled.
* Removed the Iron Dome mod rocket launchers:
- "9M22U - 122mm Grad"
- "9M27F - 229mm Uragan"
- "9M55F - 300mm Smerch"
These were added to the Iron Dome Mod V1.2 in order for the radar to recognize them and be able to intercept them (these are limitations of DCS), so new rockets were added. However, they don't exist in the IDF Assets Pack.
* IronDome to IDF-Assets migration

This property affects safe compat because the ID is what gets preserved
in the save, but it's unfortunately also used as the display name, which
means changing the display name breaks save compat. It also prevents us
from changing display names without breaking faction definitions.
This is the first step in fixing that. The next is adding a separate
display_name property that can be updated without breaking either of
those.
```
>>> class Foo:
... bar = 0
... @classmethod
... def set_bar(cls, v):
... cls.bar = v
...
>>> class Bar(Foo):
... ...
...
>>> Bar.set_bar(1)
>>> Bar.bar
1
>>> Foo.bar
0
>>> class Foo:
... bar = {}
... @classmethod
... def add(cls, k, v):
... cls.bar[k] = v
...
>>> class Bar(Foo):
... pass
...
>>> Bar.add(0, 1)
>>> Bar.bar
{0: 1}
>>> Foo.bar
{0: 1}
```
The collections are copied by reference into the descendants, whereas
_loaded is copied by value, so that one can stay. Before this patch,
every subtype was loading because _loaded was set per subclass, but they
were all registering with a common collection defined by UnitType rather
than their own class.
This allows to define if a unit should be placed backwards in the generated mission. This is required for example for the SA-11/SA-17 or Silkworm Launchers.
Now the user can override special skynet properties from the unit.yaml of the main Radar of the sam site. Which unit needs these overrides can be looked up over here: https://github.com/walder/Skynet-IADS/blob/develop/skynet-iads-source/skynet-iads-supported-types.lua
- fixed wrong exclusion of groups with the first unit dead but still able to participate
- added some exception handling in the lua script for groups which skynet is not able to control. preventing scripting errors
- Fix tgogenerator
- Fix UI for ForceGroup and Layouts
- Fix ammo depot handling
- Split bigger files in smaller meaningful files (TGO, layouts, forces)
- Renamed Template to Layout
- Renamed GroundGroup to TheaterGroup and GroundUnit to TheaterUnit
- Reorganize Layouts and UnitGroups to a ArmedForces class and ForceGroup similar to the AirWing and Squadron
- Reworded the UnitClass, GroupRole, GroupTask (adopted to PEP8) and reworked the connection from Role and Task
- added comments
- added missing unit classes
- added temp workaround for missing classes
- add repariable property to TheaterUnit
- Review and Cleanup
Added serialization for loaded templates
Loading the templates from the .miz files takes a lot of computation time and in the future there will be more templates added to the system. Therefore a local pickle serialization for the loaded templates was re-added:
- The pickle will be created the first time the TemplateLoader will be accessed
- Pickle is stored in Liberation SaveDir
- Added UI option to (re-)import templates
Improvement for factions and templates which will allow decoupling of the templates from the actual units
- Implement UnitGroup class which matches unit_types and possible templates as the needed abstraction layer for decoupling.
- Refactor UnitType, Add ShipUnitType and all ships we currently use
- Remove serialized template.json and migrated to multiple yaml templates (one for each template) and multiple .miz
- Reorganized a lot of templates and started with generalization of many types (AAA, Flak, SHORAD, Navy)
- Fixed a lot of bugs from the previous reworks (group name generation, strike targets...)
- Reorganized the faction file completly. removed redundant lists, added presets for complex groups / families of units like sams
- Reworked the building template handling. Some templates are unused like "village"
- Reworked how groups from templates can be merged again for the dcs group creation (e.g. the skynet plugin requires them to be in the same group)
- Allow to define alternative tasks
- will not be used for binary read/writes (rb,wb)!
- prevents a bug where units with special characters in the unit name can not be tracked anymore as there will be a name mismatch due to wrong encoding
We'd only load unit data if a name lookup was done and missed it on a
type lookup. Ideally we wouldn't need to do a type lookup here until the
ground unit templates are reworked we still do.
