* Implemented a new option in settings: Default start type for Player flights.
* Updated changelog.
* Removed unnecessary country parameter.
* Restore missing parameter
* on_pilot_changed should emit pilots_changed in its finally block, otherwise the start-type isn't updated if you have a single client pilot which you switch to a non-client pilot.
Also implemented other changes suggested by @Raffson, such as a more streamlined start_type QComboBox handling and moving the pilots_changed Signal to FlightRosterEditor.
* Decouple Signal from QFlighStartType

We want other pieces of country information (in particular the short
names). This cleans up a lot of code anyway.
As an added bonus, this now catches squadrons that used invalid names
which would previously be passed through to pydcs and... then I don't
know what would happen.
- Add the new airassault mission type and special flightplans for it
- Add the mission type to airbase and FOB
- Add Layout for the UH-1H
- Add mission type to capable squadrons
- Allow the auto planner to task air assault missions when preconditions are met
- Improve Airlift mission type and improve the flightplan (Stopover and Helo landing)
- Allow Slingload and spawnable crates for airlift
- Rework airsupport to a general missiondata class
- Added Carrier Information to mission data
- Allow to define CTLD specific capabilities in the unit yaml
- Allow inflight preload and fixed wing support for air assault
Instead of giving an error when a mission type which was added to the squadron is not defined in the Ai autoplanner db for the aircraft the user should be able to task the aircraft accordingly.
This appears to be incompatible with pyinstaller. I get the following
when trying to run the executable generated with pyside6:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

No idea why we were only resetting this if the max was >= 2. Instead,
always reset the flight to the default size when switching aircraft. The
default for anything capable of a two-ship is two, but limit based on
the airframe's group size limit and the number of aircraft available.

This also adds max group sizes for aircraft that need it but don't
according to DCS. Only the first tanker or AEW&C unit in a group can be
contacted by radio.
This is just a hack that automatically converts the assigned pilots to
players if needed. This really needs to be replaced with a roster editor
like the flight edit screen has, but that also requires squadron
selection, which isn't a thing we're ready for yet.

If in the create flight dialog, there are no suitable aircraft for a task, or no aircraft left at all, a suitable message is now shown that prevents the user from creating a flight.
Also adds in a quick "remember what plane the user had selected last" feature.
This makes the names of the aircraft displayed to the player in the UI more verbose and readable.
It allows allows specific countries to display an aircraft's name differently. An example of this would be the JF-17 Thunder, which is known in China as the FC-1 Fierce Dragon - this now displays correctly in the Liberation UI.
Mildly breaks save compat with 2.3; All existing flight dialogs will be
broken, passing the turn or recreating all the flights in the UI will
allow you to continue
Breaks save compat because it adds new fields to `Flight` that have no
constant default. Removing all of our other save compat at the same
time.
Note that player flights with a divert point will have a nav point for
their actual landing point. This is because we place the divert point
last, and DCS won't let us have a land point anywhere but the final
waypoint. It would allow a LandingReFuAr point, but they're only
generated for player flights anyway so it doesn't really matter.

The AI isn't making use of these yet, but it's not smart enough to do so
anyway.
Would benefit from an icon to differentiate it on the map.
I'm stretching the definition of "control point" quite a bit. We might
want to put a class above `ControlPoint` for `AirSpawnLocation` to
represent types of spawn locations that can't be captured and don't have
ground objectives.
