* Roadbase and ground spawn support
Implemented support for roadbases and ground spawn slots at airfields and FOBs. The ground spawn slots can be inserted in campaigns by placing either an A-10A or an AJS37 at a runway or ramp. This will cause an invisible FARP, an ammo dump and a fuel dump to be placed (behind the slot in case of A-10A, to the side in case of AJS37) in the generated campaigns. The ground spawn slot can be used by human controlled aircraft in generated missions. Also allowed the use of the four-slot FARP and the single helipad in campaigns, in addition to the invisible FARP. The first waypoint of the placed aircraft will be the center of a Remove Statics trigger zone (which might or might not work in multiplayer due to a DCS limitation).
Also implemented three new options in settings:
- AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns
- This setting will allow the AI to use the roadbases for flights and transfers. AI flights will air-start from these bases, since the AI in DCS is not currently able to take off from ground spawns.
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in airbases instead of FARP statics
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in roadbases instead of FARP statics
- These settings will replace the FARP statics with refueler and ammo trucks at roadbases. Enabling them might have a negative performance impact.
* Modified calculate_parking_slots() so it now takes into account also helicopter slots on FARPs and also ground start slots (but only if the aircraft is flyable or the "AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns" option is enabled in settings).
* Improved the way parking slots are communicated on the basemenu window.
* Refactored helipad and ground spawn appends to static methods _add_helipad and _add_ground_spawn in mizcampaignloader.py
Added missing changelog entries.
Fixed tgogenerator.py imports.
Cleaned up ParkingType() construction.
* Added test_control_point_parking for testing that the correct number of parking slots are returned for control point in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_squadron to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for a squadron of Viggens in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_aircraft to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for Viggen aircraft type in test_controlpoint.py

This PR adds utility functions that import/export landmap files to .miz
polygons. In addition to the unit test, this PR has been tested by
writing the Caucuses & Syria landmaps to a .miz file, loading the
generated .miz file back in and checking that the loaded landmap object
is identical to the original files.
We've actually been pretty good at getting this right in most of the
code base, but we've missed it in a few places. Python defaults to the
encoding of the current locale unless otherwise specified, and for a US
English Windows install that's cp1252, not UTF-8. I'm not brave enough
to change the locale at startup because I don't know how that might
affect CJK encoding users (or for that matter, non-Latin derived
alphabet UTF-8 variants).

* Don't generate runway data for heliports.

* Remove dead code.
* Implemented support for Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod
The Chiller Juice Studios Super Hornet mod works like this: it changes the stock F/A-18C Hornet into F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet / Growler. The exact variant is selected with argument 999 in the livery description.lua, which is why I chose to add the three variants in the FA-18C_hornet.yaml. This way, we can use the squadrons mechanism in Liberation to select the appropriate variant by specifying the correct livery for the squadron.
Current properties injected are wingspan / width and the custom ordnance added by the mod.
Added F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake and F/A-18F icon.
Resolves https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2681
* Added a separate loadout file for the Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod. Currently only replaces the FPU-8A fuel tanks with FPU-12s.
* Added the possibility to use the AI variant of the F/A-18C in campaigns, allowing different loadouts and in the future, the Super Hornet mod alongside legacy Hornets in the same campaign.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.0. Removed the 1.x version property and pylon injection since they are no longer necessary, since 2.0 adds the Super Hornet variants as separate aircraft. For the same reason, removed the AI-only F/A-18C from the faction files (still retained the aircraft yaml, loadout files and icon/banner in case someone still wants to use it).
Includes F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake, loadouts by @sgtfuzzle17 and F/A-18E/F icons.
* Added Super Hornet, Growler squadrons and Growler banner by @sgtfuzzle17
The squadrons include the model of the airframe in their name, so they can be referenced directly from campaign yaml files without the risk of conflicting with the same squadron of a different era, flying a different airframe.
Also updated the E and G model icons.
Resolves#77
* Fixed a bug with the EA-18G banner not being visible in Retribution. Also added the Super Hornet variants to factions bluefor_modern and Israel-USN_2005_Allied_Sword.
* Corrected the descriptions for tandem-seat Super Hornet variants.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.1
* Anti-ship loadouts are now named properly.
* Update changelog.md
* Update QNewGameWizard.py

Tune turbulence values.
Modify the range of values used to choose a wind speed.
Wind speed at high elevation IRL can range from 20 to 160 knots around the globe.
You may see wind speed generated here up to 100+ knots, but generally around 40 or so.
IRL wind speed appears to depend on the latitude of the sun, not in this implementation.
Note increased wind speeds in the changelog.
Limit wind speed to 97 knots.
Made minor adjustments to wind speed calculation.
Calculate turbulance.
Turbulance is based off time of day, and day of year.
Each theatre may adjust their turbulance parameters.
Spell turbulence correctly.
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)
