This allows campaign designers to forcibly place specific squadrons at
bases that they would not normally be assigned to, such as assigning
CV-only squadrons to the shore. The airframe itself must be compatible
with the location type, so A-10s still may not be assigned to carriers.
This change only applies to squadrons that are named explicitly. There's
no need for squadrons defined by type because a squadron will always be
generated to fit the need if no pre-defined squadron is found.

Forces carrier planes with original start_time of zero seconds to have a start time of 1 second. This will prevent them from spawning on the 'sixpack' and functions as a workaround for a DCS problem (deadlock / traffic jam).
Fixes#1309.
This PR contains two new campaigns for the Marianas terrain, depicting capture of the island of Guam. The first has BLUFOR start after landing at Agat and requires a carrier/LHA capable BLUFOR faction, because there are no land based airbases captured initially. The second has about half of the island already in control, enabling BLUFOR land based aircraft to operate from Antonio B Won Pat (and can also be used by WWII factions). Both campaigns support inversion.
Credit to Dank Williams, the campaigns were heavily inspired by his Marianas insurgency campaign and contain some ground units placed by him, used with permission of course.
They are by no means historical and contain a relatively large number of FOBs compared to only having two airfields. The routes zig-zag a bit since space is limited on the island and I had to place the FOBs far enough from each other to clear the capture zone radius.
The two other airfields on Guam, Orote and Andersen Northwest Field, have FARPs, enabling helicopter operations as well as rearming and refueling for player fixed wing flights (but no mission starts or AI takeoffs).
Included are also two WWII factions which don't require the WWII asset pack. The "Japanese" faction consists of German/Russian equipment with stock Japanese liveries.
This also does improve the over-purchase problems, though I can't spot
the behavior change that's causing that. Presumably the old
implementation had a bug I can't spot and in rewriting it I solved the
problem...
