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.
The default loadout is now displayed whenever the custom loadout checkbox is unchecked.
The custom loadout is reset when the custom loadout is checked, to force the user to be prescriptive about the loadout.

This makes the names of the aircraft displayed to the player in the UI more verbose and readable.
It allows allows specific countries to display an aircraft's name differently. An example of this would be the JF-17 Thunder, which is known in China as the FC-1 Fierce Dragon - this now displays correctly in the Liberation UI.
Follow up work:
* Data entry. I plan to do the air-to-air missiles in the near term. I
covered some variants of the AIM-120, AIM-7, and AIM-9 here, but there
are variants of those weapons for each mounting rack that need to be
done still, as well as all the non-US weapons.
* Arbitrary start dates.

This feature allows you to cancel the sales of aircraft or ground vehicles if needed.
Upon clicking the minus button, a count of sold units will be appended to the unit count. This count responds to both further presses of the minus button, and also to presses of the plus button. No further units will be requested for the next turn until all sold units have been re-bought.
I've tested a bunch of different scenarios with this:
- Selling and rebuying a unit - the budget increases and decreases as expected.
- Selling one unit, buying a unit worth the new player budget, and then trying to rebuy the old unit - the old unit cannot be rebought until the budget has been freed up for it.
- Closing the base window and re-opening it - the sold unit count is retained.
- Ending the turn - the sold unit count is reset back to 0 as expected.

Mildly breaks save compat with 2.3; All existing flight dialogs will be
broken, passing the turn or recreating all the flights in the UI will
allow you to continue
This isn't perfect because the auto planner might still target it. We
need a larger refactoring for target iteration so we don't need to
remember all the special rules at each call site. For now, this restores
the 2.3.2 behavior.

On station time for CAP is only 30 minutes, so plan three cycles to give
~90 minutes of CAP coverage.
Default starting budget has increased significantly to account for the
greatly increased aircraft needs on turn 1.

* Add enemy air and ground unit reports.
* Changes the summary to be a comparison of relative strengths rather
than raw enemy numbers.

Creates threat zones around airfields and non-trivial air defenses (it's
not worth dodging anything with a threat range under 3nm). These threat
zones can be used to aid mission planning and waypoint placement.

Not converting all at once so I can prove the concept. After that we'll
want to cover all the cases where an int distance or speed is a part of
the save game (I've done one of them here with `Flight.alt`) so further
cleanups don't break save compat.

Moves all TOT planning into the FlightPlan to clean up specialized
behavior and improve planning characteristics.
The important part of this change is that flights are now planning to
the mission time for their flight rather than the package as a whole.
For example, a TARCAP is planned based on the time from startup to the
patrol point, a sweep is planned based on the time from startup to the
sween end point, and a strike flight is planned based on the time from
startup to the target location. TOT offsets can be handled within the
flight plan.
As another benefit of theis cleanup, flights without hold points no
longer account for the hold time in their planning, so those flights are
planned to reach their targets sooner.
As a follow up TotEstimator can be removed, but I want to keep this low
impact for 2.3.2.
