Implemented support for player controllable carriers in Pretense campaigns. This functionality can be enabled or disabled in settings, because the controllable carriers in Pretense do not build and deploy AI missions autonomously, so the old functionality is retained.
...
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.

Pretense zone radius (radii) for FOBs with FARPs will now be dynamically adjusted. Increased the size of Pretense zones at Damascus, Khalkhalah and Krasnodar-Pashkovsky (which are quite spread out) so the zone would encompass the entire airfield.

- Number of cargo planes per side
- Number of AI SEAD flights per control point / zone
