Budget and Intel panels now house a single button instead of separate Details buttons. Makes the top bar more compact and can fit in a 1080p monitor now.
The simple form of this works, but without the multi-mode routing it'll
only get used when the final destination is a port with a link to a port
with a factory.
These also aren't targetable or simulated yet.

This gives a clean break between the transfer request and the type of
transport allocated to make way for transports that need to switch
types (to support driving to a port, then getting on a ship, to a train,
then back on the road, etc).

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.

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 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 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.

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.
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
Also separate out SEAD and DEAD taskings. Some aircraft can DEAD but not SEAD.
Also make the recruitment menu use the pretty names in the alphabetical sort func.
If in the create flight dialog, there are no suitable aircraft for a task, or no aircraft left at all, a suitable message is now shown that prevents the user from creating a flight.
Also adds in a quick "remember what plane the user had selected last" feature.
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.
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
Some SAMs have multiple groups (such as an SA-10 group with its
accompanying SA-15 and SA-19 groups). This shows each group's threat and
detection separately on the map, and also makes it so that an SA-10 with
dead radars will no longer contribute to the threat zone just because
the shilka next to it still has a functioning radar.
