Unlocking the full potential, i.e. allowing users to switch back & forth between livery-sets, livery-overrides and normal liveries, including support for overriding flight/flight-member specific liveries.
Resolves#313

* Modified changelog.md
Modified resources/factions/USA 1970 Vietnam War.json
Modified resources/factions/USA 1971 Vietnam War.json
Modified resources/units/ground_units/vap_mule.yaml
Added resources/units/aircraft/OH-6A.yaml
* Added the OH-6 to factions and implemented the mod selection in the new game wizard. Added an icon an a banner.
* Modified resources/units/aircraft/OH-6A.yaml
* Added icons for the Vietnam Asset Pack ground units. Also added an icon for the PT-76 since it was missing. Added a Viet Cong 1970s faction.
* Added resources/units/ships/vap_us_seafloat.yaml
* Adjust tasking for OH-6A
OH-6A is only capable of Transport & Reconnaissance, but we can ignore this if the lead slot is a client. AI however will most likely not support this, but we can add Transport & Air Assault instead...
* Fix bug in configure task + client override fallback

AI got a little better, at least that's what tests in AFG showed. The main issue is that helicopters tended to attack static objects, which we obviously don't want...
* Large aircraft ground spawns
Added the ability to add separate ground spawns for C-130 and other large aircraft to campaigns. Implemented on @holyorangejuice 's request.
Large aircraft ground spawns are added to the campaign by placing a C-130 on the ramp, just like an A-10 or AJS37 previously. Note: use the stock DCS C-130, so the campaign miz can be safely opened without the C-130 mod (or any other mod) installed. Not the C-130J player-flyable transport, not the KC-130J tanker included in the UH-60L mod etc.
Large planes (wingspan more than 40 meters, such as the C-130):
- First try spawning on large ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
Below 40 meter wingspan aircraft:
- First try spawning on regular or roadbase ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
- Then, if both of the above fail, use the large ground spawns
* Specify explicit black version 23.9.1 to fix lint error.
* Update lint.yml

As a result of using fast-forward, AI flights are already oriented towards SPLIT, which slows things down during mission start. The escorts tend to go all over the place because of this...
Drop custom kneeboards in SavedGames/DCS/Retribution/Kneeboards as you would normally do, i.e. using the necessary folders if kneeboards are aircraft-specific
Added new options in settings:
- Carriers steam into wind
- Navmesh to use for Pretense carrier zones
- Remove ground spawn statics, including invisible FARPs, at airbases.
- Percentage of randomly selected aircraft types (only for generated squadrons)
intended to allow the user to increase aircraft variety.
Will now store the ICLS channel and Link4 frequency in missiondata.py CarrierInfo.
Implemented artillery groups as Pretense garrisons. Artillery groups are spawned by the Artillery Bunker. Will now also ensure that the logistics units spawned as part of Pretense garrisons are actually capable of ammo resupply.
Fixed the Pretense generator generating a bit too many missions per squadron. Ground spawns: Also hot start aircraft which require ground crew support (ground air or chock removal) which might not be available at roadbases. Also, pretensetgogenerator.py will now correctly handle air defence units in ground_unit_of_class(). Added Roland groups in the Pretense generator.
Randomly chooses one of the liveries defined if present in the squadron's yaml, overrides entry for "livery" or whatever is chosen in the UI except liveries on flight-member level
