This allows users to install custom factions to their home directory
rather than the Liberation install directory. Makes it easier to keep
mods across Liberation downloads, and easier for us devs to keep custom
factions without git always wanting us to add them.
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.

This is an interim improvement since we should probably be pushing the
BARCAPs into TARCAP roles when the front line is so close. This does
regress flight pathing for anything that should route around the front
(to avoid getting shot at by SHORADS and TARCAPs), but for now it's one
or the other and this is the one everyone's complaining about.
This also removes the "factory" type from the normal strike target
(money generating) generators to avoid confusion. Later only control
points with factories will be able to spawn ground units, at which point
these will no longer generate income.

This is used to provide a UI hint to guide players towards campaigns
that have been updated to work with the current version of the game.
All the campaigns we currently have were made for an unknown version of
the game, so they're all flagged as incompatible.
The version field is not the DCS Liberation version number because the
campaign format may change multiple times during development. Instead
the version number is a monotonically increasing integer that we
increment whenever a game change requires campaign updates.
Also documented the behavior on the wiki (link in the changelog).
This is currently fully functional for players, but since units can be
bought and sold at any base there's no real reason to use these yet.
Will follow up with making ground units only purchasable at bases with
factories (the UI will still allow the purchase directly at the base,
but it will automatically create the transfer order) so convoys end up
being used, and to make factories a more interesting strategic target.

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.
