There's an ugly special case in flight simulation to handle hold points
because we don't differentiate between the total time between two
waypoints (which can include delays from actions like holding) and
travel time. Split those up and remove the special case.
Adjust 'should_halt_sim' conditions for taxi & takeoff flight-states, fixing an infinite loop that would occur if the FF-interrupt setting would not match with the start-type of the flight
Cleanup and reword refuel waypoints
- rename Stopover back to CargoStop
- precise some waypoint naming
Cleanup and refine airlift and airassault waypoints
- Drop Off and Pickup now correctly worded
- Helo waypoints now represent LandingZones for pickup and dropoff
Forbid planes from air assault.
Make air assault drop-off non-optional.
There is always a drop-off location for troops.
Add docs explaining what the assault area is.
Add error handling for cargo drop waypoints.
Document some airlift waypoint behavior.
Remove unnecessary refuel waypoint in airlifts.
Remove CTLD logic from Airlift flightplan for AI
Add Ingress Point to AirAssault FlightPlan
Add simulation halt at AirAssault ingress
Remove AirAssault completly from AutoPlanner
Remove unneeded LandRefuel from Airlift
Clarify cargo waypoints for AirLift and AirAssault
We can always estimate a startup time now. Remove the nullability from
the result, cleanup the callsites, and eliminate
TotEstimator.mission_start_time since it no longer does anything useful.
There are some TODOs here but th behavior is flagged off by default. The
biggest TODO here is that the time spent frozen is not simulated, so
flights that are engaged by SAMs will unfreeze, move slightly, then re-
freeze.

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.
Rather than polling at 60Hz (which may be faster than the tick rate,
wasting cycles; and also makes synchronization annoying), collect events
during the tick and emit them after (rate limited, pooling events until
it is time for another event to send).
This can be improved by paying attention to the aircraft update list,
which would allow us to avoid updating aircraft that don't have a status
change. To do that we need to be able to quickly lookup a FlightJs
matching a Flight through, and Flight isn't hashable.
We should also be removing dead events and de-duplicating. Currently
each flight has an update for every tick, but only the latest one
matters. Combat update events also don't matter if the same combat is
new in the update.

This doesn't do anything yet, but sets up the data model handling for
frozen combat. The next step is to show combat in the map view, since
that will be helpful when debugging the step after that one: resolving
frozen combat.
This would benefit from caching the Shapely data for SAM threat zones.
Right now it's generating them once per tick and the stuttering is
visible at max speed.

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.
