Mod selection is now done via checkbox in the new game wizard.
The MB-339 is being turned into a paid module, and the free mod no longer works, so it's been removed.
This is a bit of an ugly hack but it's effectively what we would need
anyway. We could clean up the global replacement by making the name
generator _only_ a property of Game and plumbing it through to a large
number of places. Could maybe also use `__getstate__` and `__setstate__`
tricks to save `naming.namegen` to the file even without making it truly
a part of Game.

The AI purchaser will aim to have a 50/50 ground/air investment mix.
This allows it to overspend on one category if significant losses were
taken the previous turn.
The total purchase amount is still limited, so if the bases are full
when only 10% of the investment is in ground units, the full budget for
the turn will still go to air.
We want the scud to not be culled, but we should still cull things
nearby. Rather than making the scud the center of a 2.5km unculled zone,
just exclude missile objectives from culling.
Without this, *this turn's* urgent requests are lower priority than last
turn's stretch goals. The requests are remade every turn so we lose
nothing by removing this.
Bug was introduced by f69450e2ae24df81d42b1ebc63d8375731154612, so this
doesn't affect 2.5.
The priority list was guiding the purchase decision which largely meant
that this was working correctly, but there were suboptimal cases where
the list was being taken in FIFO order by purchased type. This fixes the
search to be locally optimal, although this does still mean that a worse
but closer aircraft will be chosen over a better but slightly farther
away aircraft. We'd need to have a quality vs distance rating to do
better.

A was intended to be the blue point and B was intended to be the red
point. Make this a part of the name so that's clear, and clean up
related code to keep that reliable.
Removing the per-transit type supply routes allows us to find the best
route from A to B even if the unit needs to switch transit modes along
the way.
The "best" route is the one that will generate better gameplay. That is,
convoys are preferred to ships (use cases for GMT are rare in DCS), and
ships are preferred to airlift (reasons to attack cargo ships are also
rare). Avoiding airlift is also a good strategic choice generally since
it consumes aircraft that could be performing other missions.
The extreme weight against airlift in the pathfinding algorithm could
probably be scaled way down so that airlift would be given preference
over a very long trip, possibly only for urgent transfers.
Later when we add rail that will probably be given the most preference,
but possibly between road and shipping.

Also changes when we clear the convoys. Because we plan when transfers
are added (to plan UI orders immediately) we were planning convoys when
delivering units, then clearing the convoys, then planning them again.
Aside from the wasted effort, when we cleared the convoys we forgot to
tell the transfer that they no longer had transport, so when replanning
they did not get a new convoy.
Downside to the current implementation is that whether or not transports
that were purchased last turn will be available for airlift this turn is
arbitrary. This is because transfers are created at the same time as
units are delivered, and units are delivered in an arbitrary order per
CP. If the helicopters are delivered before the ground units they'll
have access to the transports, otherwise they'll be refunded. This will
be fixed later when I rework the transfer requests to not require
immediate fulfillment.

Historically this inherited from Event but there was no reason for that.
That's gone now. Finish the separation and move the unit order tracking
class out of the combat results reaction class's file.
UI isn't finished. Bulk transfers where the player doesn't care what
aircraft get used work (though they're chosen with no thought at all),
but being able to plan your own airlift flight isn't here yet.
Cargo planes are not implemented yet.
No way to view the cargo of a flight (will come with the cargo flight
planning UI).
The airlift flight/package creation should probably be moved out of the
UI and into the game code.
AI doesn't use these yet.

The purchase system will seek out a source for its units when the
purchase is completed. If no source is available the order will be
refunded. Orders with no source available are prevented, so this only
happens when the source was cut off from the destination during the
turn.
There's still some funkiness going on with the first turn (but possibly
only when the first turn includes a cheat to capture) where the AI buys
a ton of units somewhere other than the front line. First turn behavior
should probably be different anyway, with the first turn allowing
purchases anywhere to avoid empty front lines while troops reinforce if
the front line isn't a factory.

This adds the models and UIs for creating ground unit transfer orders.
Most of the feature is still missing:
* The AI doesn't do them.
* Transfers can move across the whole map in one turn.
* Transfers between disconnected bases are allowed.
* Transfers are not modeled in the simulation, so they can't be
interdicted.

`Game.date` is actually the start date, not the current date. Not renaming to
avoid breaking save compat.
This fix won't have any effect on existing saves until they pass the turn
because this is encoded into the conditions generated at the start of the turn,
but it will fix on the next turn.

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.

Started with TARCAP because they're simple, but will follow and extend
this to the other flight plans next.
This works by building navigation meshes (navmeshes) of the theater
based on the threat regions. A navmesh is created for each faction to
allow the unique pathing around each side's threats. Navmeshes are built
such that there are nav edges around threat zones to allow the planner
to pick waypoints that (slightly) route around threats before
approaching the target.
Using the navmesh, routes are found using A*. Performance appears
adequate, and could probably be improved with a cache if needed since
the small number of origin points means many flights will share portions
of their flight paths.
This adds a few visual debugging tools to the map. They're disabled by
default, but changing the local `debug` variable in `DisplayOptions` to
`True` will make them appear in the display options menu. These are:
* Display navmeshes (red and blue). Displaying either navmesh will draw
each navmesh polygon on the map view and highlight the mesh that
contains the cursor. Neighbors are indicated by a small yellow line
pointing from the center of the polygon's edge/vertext that is shared
with its neighbor toward the centroid of the zone.
* Shortest path from control point to mouse location. The first control
point for the selected faction is arbitrarily selected, and the
shortest path from that control point to the mouse cursor will be
drawn on the map.
* TARCAP plan near mouse location. A TARCAP will be planned from the
faction's first control point to the target nearest the mouse cursor.

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.
