The purchase system will seek out a source for its units when the
purchase is completed. If no source is available the order will be
refunded. Orders with no source available are prevented, so this only
happens when the source was cut off from the destination during the
turn.
There's still some funkiness going on with the first turn (but possibly
only when the first turn includes a cheat to capture) where the AI buys
a ton of units somewhere other than the front line. First turn behavior
should probably be different anyway, with the first turn allowing
purchases anywhere to avoid empty front lines while troops reinforce if
the front line isn't a factory.

This also removes the "factory" type from the normal strike target
(money generating) generators to avoid confusion. Later only control
points with factories will be able to spawn ground units, at which point
these will no longer generate income.

This is used to provide a UI hint to guide players towards campaigns
that have been updated to work with the current version of the game.
All the campaigns we currently have were made for an unknown version of
the game, so they're all flagged as incompatible.
The version field is not the DCS Liberation version number because the
campaign format may change multiple times during development. Instead
the version number is a monotonically increasing integer that we
increment whenever a game change requires campaign updates.
Also documented the behavior on the wiki (link in the changelog).
This is currently fully functional for players, but since units can be
bought and sold at any base there's no real reason to use these yet.
Will follow up with making ground units only purchasable at bases with
factories (the UI will still allow the purchase directly at the base,
but it will automatically create the transfer order) so convoys end up
being used, and to make factories a more interesting strategic target.

This adds the models and UIs for creating ground unit transfer orders.
Most of the feature is still missing:
* The AI doesn't do them.
* Transfers can move across the whole map in one turn.
* Transfers between disconnected bases are allowed.
* Transfers are not modeled in the simulation, so they can't be
interdicted.
