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.
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.

Still a work in progress (the missions don't actually perform their task, just orbit). Currently:
* AEW&C aircraft can be bought.
* AEW&C missions can be planned at any control point and at front lines.
* AEW&C will return after 4H or Bingo.
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
Also separate out SEAD and DEAD taskings. Some aircraft can DEAD but not SEAD.
Also make the recruitment menu use the pretty names in the alphabetical sort func.
If in the create flight dialog, there are no suitable aircraft for a task, or no aircraft left at all, a suitable message is now shown that prevents the user from creating a flight.
Also adds in a quick "remember what plane the user had selected last" feature.
A user can now modify the existing default loadout, rather than starting from scratch.
Also adds WIP handling for removed pylons, which looks like it may need some PyDCS work.
Also fixes the F-14B default loadouts for everything OTHER than fighter sweep again.
