* Roadbase and ground spawn support
Implemented support for roadbases and ground spawn slots at airfields and FOBs. The ground spawn slots can be inserted in campaigns by placing either an A-10A or an AJS37 at a runway or ramp. This will cause an invisible FARP, an ammo dump and a fuel dump to be placed (behind the slot in case of A-10A, to the side in case of AJS37) in the generated campaigns. The ground spawn slot can be used by human controlled aircraft in generated missions. Also allowed the use of the four-slot FARP and the single helipad in campaigns, in addition to the invisible FARP. The first waypoint of the placed aircraft will be the center of a Remove Statics trigger zone (which might or might not work in multiplayer due to a DCS limitation).
Also implemented three new options in settings:
- AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns
- This setting will allow the AI to use the roadbases for flights and transfers. AI flights will air-start from these bases, since the AI in DCS is not currently able to take off from ground spawns.
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in airbases instead of FARP statics
- Spawn trucks at ground spawns in roadbases instead of FARP statics
- These settings will replace the FARP statics with refueler and ammo trucks at roadbases. Enabling them might have a negative performance impact.
* Modified calculate_parking_slots() so it now takes into account also helicopter slots on FARPs and also ground start slots (but only if the aircraft is flyable or the "AI fixed-wing aircraft can use roadbases / bases with only ground spawns" option is enabled in settings).
* Improved the way parking slots are communicated on the basemenu window.
* Refactored helipad and ground spawn appends to static methods _add_helipad and _add_ground_spawn in mizcampaignloader.py
Added missing changelog entries.
Fixed tgogenerator.py imports.
Cleaned up ParkingType() construction.
* Added test_control_point_parking for testing that the correct number of parking slots are returned for control point in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_squadron to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for a squadron of Viggens in test_controlpoint.py
* Added test_parking_type_from_aircraft to test the correct ParkingType object is returned for Viggen aircraft type in test_controlpoint.py

This isn't actually the data that callers usually want. Most of the
callers just want the bounds. The heading and length are trivially
computed from that. Add a class to contain the result so it's easier to
refactor.
It replaces the FRONTLINE_LENGTH constant, which was used previously. The default setting for the frontline length has been set to match the FRONTLINE_LENGTH value (80 km), but I feel the default should be a bit shorter. Discussion on the topic would be welcome.
This is briefly moving us over to my fork of pydcs while we wait for
https://github.com/pydcs/dcs/pull/206 to be merged. The adaptation is
invasive enough that I don't want it lingering for long.
