Squashing 8 commits by DanAlbert:
- Track theater in ControlPoint.
Simplifies finding the owning theater of a control point. Not used yet.
- Clean some cruft out of FlightPlanBuilder.
- Clean up silly some exception handling.
- Move FlightPlan instantiation into the builder.
I'm working on moving the builder to be owned by the Flight, which will simplify callers that need to create (or recreate) flight plans for a flight.
- Simplify IBuilder constructor.
We have access to the theater via the flight's departure airbase now.
- Move FlightPlan creation into Flight.
For now this is just a callsite cleanup. Later, this will make it easier
to separate unscheduled and scheduled flights into different classes without complicating the layout/scheduling.
- Remove superfluous constructors.
- Remove unused Package field.
- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
During package planning we don't care about the details of the flight
plan, just the layout (to check if the layout is threatened and we need
escorts). Splitting these will allow us to reduce the amount of work
that must be done in each loop of the planning phase, potentially
caching attempted flight plans between loops.
Split the oversized file into one per plan type. This also moves the
layout responsibility out of the oversized FlightPlanBuilder and into
each flight plan type file.
It would probably be more accurate to have the icon based on the
aircraft type and use the modifier to indicate the mission, but this
will do for now (I also might have that backwards, I can't find the
guidance because it's in STANAG 1241 which isn't free).
I also increased the icon size a bit in the UI because the longest icon
text ("SEAD") was hard to read.
There are some TODOs here but th behavior is flagged off by default. The
biggest TODO here is that the time spent frozen is not simulated, so
flights that are engaged by SAMs will unfreeze, move slightly, then re-
freeze.

A possible explanation for the infrequent CTDs we've been seeing since
adding fast forward is that QWebChannel doesn't keep a reference to the
python objects that it passes to js, so if the object is GC'd before the
front end is done with it, it crashes.
We don't really like QWebChannel anyway, so this begins replacing that
with FastAPI.
Rather than polling at 60Hz (which may be faster than the tick rate,
wasting cycles; and also makes synchronization annoying), collect events
during the tick and emit them after (rate limited, pooling events until
it is time for another event to send).
This can be improved by paying attention to the aircraft update list,
which would allow us to avoid updating aircraft that don't have a status
change. To do that we need to be able to quickly lookup a FlightJs
matching a Flight through, and Flight isn't hashable.
We should also be removing dead events and de-duplicating. Currently
each flight has an update for every tick, but only the latest one
matters. Combat update events also don't matter if the same combat is
new in the update.

This doesn't do anything yet, but sets up the data model handling for
frozen combat. The next step is to show combat in the map view, since
that will be helpful when debugging the step after that one: resolving
frozen combat.
This would benefit from caching the Shapely data for SAM threat zones.
Right now it's generating them once per tick and the stuttering is
visible at max speed.

This is the first step in a larger project to add play/pause buttons to
the Liberation UI so the mission can be generated at any point.
docs/design/turnless.md describes the plan.
This adds an option to fast forward the turn to first contact before
generating the mission. None of that is reflected in the UI (for now),
but the miz will be generated with many flights in the air.
For now "first contact" means as soon as any flight reaches its IP. I'll
follow up to add threat checking so that air-to-air combat also triggers
this, as will entering a SAM's threat zone.
This also includes an option to halt fast-forward whenever a player
flight reaches a certain mission-prep phase. This can be used to avoid
fast forwarding past the player's startup time, taxi time, or takeoff
time. By default this option is disabled so player aircraft may start in
the air (possibly even at their IP if they're the first mission to reach
IP).
Fuel states do not currently account for distance traveled during fast
forward. That will come later.
