This makes the names of the aircraft displayed to the player in the UI more verbose and readable.
It allows allows specific countries to display an aircraft's name differently. An example of this would be the JF-17 Thunder, which is known in China as the FC-1 Fierce Dragon - this now displays correctly in the Liberation UI.
The SU-17M4 represents the remaining Su-22s that Poland still flies.
I've used the Stryker as a replacement for the KTO Rosomak, which was in service as far back as 2007.
There were a few Molniyas still in service as of 2010, namely the Metalowiec and Rolnik, as well as a singular Kilo class.
Follow up work:
* Data entry. I plan to do the air-to-air missiles in the near term. I
covered some variants of the AIM-120, AIM-7, and AIM-9 here, but there
are variants of those weapons for each mounting rack that need to be
done still, as well as all the non-US weapons.
* Arbitrary start dates.

No loadout had been specified for the J-11A, so I've added one. The J-11A carries a similar loadout to the Su-27, but with R-77s instead of R-27ERs.
Also looks like it was missing from the EWRS details, so I've added it there too.

* Adds the E-2C Hawkeye to the game.
It wasn't being imported from pydcs, and thus wasn't in the list of AWACS aircraft or prices.
Also adds it to the 1985 US Navy list, as that makes sense to do.
Updates .gitignore to ignore my VS Code settings file.

This feature allows you to cancel the sales of aircraft or ground vehicles if needed.
Upon clicking the minus button, a count of sold units will be appended to the unit count. This count responds to both further presses of the minus button, and also to presses of the plus button. No further units will be requested for the next turn until all sold units have been re-bought.
I've tested a bunch of different scenarios with this:
- Selling and rebuying a unit - the budget increases and decreases as expected.
- Selling one unit, buying a unit worth the new player budget, and then trying to rebuy the old unit - the old unit cannot be rebought until the budget has been freed up for it.
- Closing the base window and re-opening it - the sold unit count is retained.
- Ending the turn - the sold unit count is reset back to 0 as expected.

If there are not airbases withing ferry range with available parking for
the aircraft then the aircraft will be captured and sold. Otherwise the
aircraft will retreat to the closest available airbase.
Fixes https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/693
If the captured base has no connection to other friendly objectives (the
base was encircled) then the enemy equipment will be captured and sold.
Otherwise the units will retreat toward connected bases.
Partial fix for https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues/693.
Still need to fix this for air units.
Those task types aren't correct here (that whole dict probably serves
little purpose now), and the actual unit pool is handled in
_affordable_aircraft_of_types.
