* Large aircraft ground spawns
Added the ability to add separate ground spawns for C-130 and other large aircraft to campaigns. Implemented on @holyorangejuice 's request.
Large aircraft ground spawns are added to the campaign by placing a C-130 on the ramp, just like an A-10 or AJS37 previously. Note: use the stock DCS C-130, so the campaign miz can be safely opened without the C-130 mod (or any other mod) installed. Not the C-130J player-flyable transport, not the KC-130J tanker included in the UH-60L mod etc.
Large planes (wingspan more than 40 meters, such as the C-130):
- First try spawning on large ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
Below 40 meter wingspan aircraft:
- First try spawning on regular or roadbase ground spawns
- Then try the regular airfield ramp spawns
- Then, if both of the above fail, use the large ground spawns
* Specify explicit black version 23.9.1 to fix lint error.
* Update lint.yml

The first ground object of a naval control-point isn't always the CV or LHA, but can also be a different TGO if 1 or more TGOs are linked to the naval control point.
The "no skynet usable units" exception would get triggered when an IADS-node would form its connections. If one of those connections contained an IADS unit that was dead, the exception would get triggered since we weren't skipping "dead connections".
* Implemented support for the VSN Super Étendard v2.5.5
* Updated changelog and renamed the banner.

* Added F9F Panther mod support (version v2.8.7.101). Still missing loadouts and icon+banner.
* Added missing import in pydcs_extensions/__init__.py
* Added a banner and icon for the F9F Panther, credit for the banner to Jim over at the Century Series Discord. VSN Century Series logo used with permission. Also added loadouts for the F9F Panther and fixed the mod settings for it.
The call to 'add_or_update_force_group' would end up merging the force-groups, which in turn could cause SAM sites to have an SA-2 SR & TR with SA-6 launchers...
* Added F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker mod support (Chiller Juice Studios SuperBug Tanker AI version 1.1).
* Updated F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker mod support (Chiller Juice Studios SuperBug Tanker AI) to version 1.2.
* F/A-18E/F Super Hornet AI Tanker (version 1.2) support merged to Retribution.
* Updated the pydcs extension to version 1.4.
Includes an Argentina 1982 faction for testing purposes, although it's
sparse because of a lack of assets in DCS.
Note that the carrier is mispelled as the Vienticinco in the game.
Includes prerequisite pydcs update.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/3123.

- Plan number of aircraft more accurately
- Fine-tuning ingress waypoint tasks
- Add lineup waypoint for STRIKE flights, 10NM in front of ingress on the same heading as the target
* 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
