The previous flight plan only makes sense if the convoy will make it a
significant distance from its starting point. At road speeds over the
typical mission duration this is not true, so we can actually plan this
as if it was a strike mission near the origin point and that's close
enough.
There's some cleanup work to do here that I've added todos for.

This currently is only supported for player flights. I have no idea how
to create an AI flight plan that won't just get them killed. AI-only BAI
missions against supply routes will warn the player on mission creation.
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.

* A Bluefor EWR 55GS in the campaign miz defines an optional EWR site. There is no distinction between how close or far it is to a base, so it's possible that there will be many EWRs within an airbase.
* A Redfor EWR 1L13 in the campaign miz defines a required EWR site.
It would be a good future idea to limit the amount of EWRs within a certain distance from an airbase. That way there's no chance of 5 EWRs all at the same airbase. Even better if there were something preventing any two EWRs from being right next to each other.
No campaigns take advantage of this yet.

The tradeoff is that any flights that might have previously routed
_around_ a threat near the edge of the map may no longer do so as the
zones at the edge are significantly larger now.

Generate a Carrier Group which comes close the the real Carrier Strike Group 8.
Under carrier_names in the faction simply add "Carrier Strike Group 8" as the first and only entry and enable super carrier.
* TRU as TACAN name
* Harry S. Truman CV
* 4x Arleigh Burke
* 1x Ticonderoga
* CV in the middle, Ticonderoga in a radius of 2 miles, Arleigh Burkes forming a rectangle
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.
