This is the first step in a larger project to add play/pause buttons to
the Liberation UI so the mission can be generated at any point.
docs/design/turnless.md describes the plan.
This adds an option to fast forward the turn to first contact before
generating the mission. None of that is reflected in the UI (for now),
but the miz will be generated with many flights in the air.
For now "first contact" means as soon as any flight reaches its IP. I'll
follow up to add threat checking so that air-to-air combat also triggers
this, as will entering a SAM's threat zone.
This also includes an option to halt fast-forward whenever a player
flight reaches a certain mission-prep phase. This can be used to avoid
fast forwarding past the player's startup time, taxi time, or takeoff
time. By default this option is disabled so player aircraft may start in
the air (possibly even at their IP if they're the first mission to reach
IP).
Fuel states do not currently account for distance traveled during fast
forward. That will come later.

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.
The landing waypoints need the airdrome_id field set to actually
associate with the airfield. Without this ferry flights will take off
and immediately land at their departure airfield.
* Use TACAN channels more selectively
* Increase tacan range to 126
* Use pytest and add workflow
* Skip faction tests due to outdated test data
* Run mypy on tests directory also
* Use iterators for bands AND usages, add tests
CAP List:
[+] Mig-21 #1372
[+] Su-34
[moved up] F-15C above the F-14 (probably contentious to some but IMO the AI never capitalizes on the AIM-54 range and the Eagle AI seems to do better in general)
[moved up] JF-17
[moved up] Gripen
[moved down] Su-33
[moved down] Su-27
[moved down] MiG-31
[moved down] MiG-25
[moved down] MiG-29G
[moved down] MiG-29A
* Downgraded MiGs and Sukhois that do not have Fox-3s due to this disadvantage. From personal experience, the 31s and 25s also won't use the longer range of their Fox-1s to warrant for a higher spot on the list.
