After fulfilling a request we were not exiting the loop, so we'd fulfill
the request for the aircraft at _all_ the bases capable of operating it
until either the bases were full or the budget ran out. In factions like
Iraq 1991 this could cause the budget to be spent on tons of cheap
MiG-19s while never buying the more expensive Su-17s or Su-24s that they
need to actually complete a package.

This allows users to install custom factions to their home directory
rather than the Liberation install directory. Makes it easier to keep
mods across Liberation downloads, and easier for us devs to keep custom
factions without git always wanting us to add them.
Budget and Intel panels now house a single button instead of separate Details buttons. Makes the top bar more compact and can fit in a 1080p monitor now.
Removing the per-transit type supply routes allows us to find the best
route from A to B even if the unit needs to switch transit modes along
the way.
The "best" route is the one that will generate better gameplay. That is,
convoys are preferred to ships (use cases for GMT are rare in DCS), and
ships are preferred to airlift (reasons to attack cargo ships are also
rare). Avoiding airlift is also a good strategic choice generally since
it consumes aircraft that could be performing other missions.
The extreme weight against airlift in the pathfinding algorithm could
probably be scaled way down so that airlift would be given preference
over a very long trip, possibly only for urgent transfers.
Later when we add rail that will probably be given the most preference,
but possibly between road and shipping.

Shipping lanes that received a ship would never lose their ships when
transfers completed, so the line on the map was staying solid (and
probably targetable).
The simple form of this works, but without the multi-mode routing it'll
only get used when the final destination is a port with a link to a port
with a factory.
These also aren't targetable or simulated yet.

Adds shipping lanes to Battle of Abu Dhabi. The others are acking the
new requirement but don't have an viable shipping lanes so no changes
are needed.
Also changes when we clear the convoys. Because we plan when transfers
are added (to plan UI orders immediately) we were planning convoys when
delivering units, then clearing the convoys, then planning them again.
Aside from the wasted effort, when we cleared the convoys we forgot to
tell the transfer that they no longer had transport, so when replanning
they did not get a new convoy.
