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):

This makes long squadron names more likely to fit. I also added a
horizontal scroll bar for the cases when this still isn't enough space
and made the vertical scroll bar only appear when necessary. Typically
aircraft purchase menus are neither wide enough for long enough to need
either scroll bar.

This is needed fairly often, and we have a lot of Game being passed
around to ControlPoint methods specifically to support this. Just store
the owning Coalition directly in the ControlPoint to clean up. I haven't
cleaned up *every* API here, but did that aircraft allocations as an
example.
The new class PurchaseGroup coming in with commit 9bb986c was not
initiallized correctly.
This causes the bug that the update function is not working when you
for example open the AircraftRecruitmentMenu press "+" or "-", close
the dialog and then open ArmorRecruitmentMenu. If you then want to buy
or sell the update function will raise an error "Internal C++ Object
Already Deleted".
This is an attempt to remove a lot of our supposedly unnecessary error
handling. Every aircraft should have a price, a description, a name,
etc; and none of those should require carrying around the faction's
country as context.
This moves all the data for aircraft into yaml files (only one converted
here as an example). Most of the "extended unit info" isn't actually
being read yet.
To replace the renaming of units based on the county, we instead
generate multiple types of each unit when necessary. The CF-18 is just
as much a first-class type as the F/A-18 is.
This doesn't work in its current state because it does break all the
existing names for aircraft that are used in the faction and squadron
files, and we no longer let those errors go as a warning. It will be an
annoying one time switch, but it allows us to define the names that get
used in these files instead of being sensitive to changes as they happen
in pydcs, and allows faction designers to specifically choose, for
example, the Su-22 instead of the Su-17.
One thing not handled by this is aircraft task capability. This is
because the lists in ai_flight_planner_db.py are a priority list, and to
move it out to a yaml file we'd need to assign a weight to it that would
be used to stack rank each aircraft. That's doable, but it makes it much
more difficult to see the ordering of aircraft at a glance, and much
more annoying to move aircraft around in the priority list. I don't
think this is worth doing, and the priority lists will remain in their
own separate lists.
This includes the converted I used to convert all the old unit info and
factions to the new format. This doesn't need to live long, but we may
want to reuse it in the future so we want it in the version history.
This Pull Request lets users plan Tanker flights.
Features:
- Introduction of `Refueling` flight type.
- Tankers can be purchased at airbases and carriers.
- Tankers get planned by AI.
- Tankers are planned from airbases and at aircraft carriers.
- Tankers aim to be at high, fast, and 70 miles from the nearest threat.
(A10s won't be able to tank)
- Tankers racetrack orbit for one hour.
- Optional Tickbox to enable legacy tankers.
- S-3B Tanker added to factions.
- KC-130 MPRS added to factions.
- Kneeboard shows planned tankers, their tacans, and radios.
Limitations:
- AI doesn't know whether to plan probe and drogue or boom refueling
tankers.
- User can't choose tanker speed. Heavily loaded aircraft may have
trouble.
- User can't choose tanker altitude. A-10s will not make it to high
altitude.
Problems:
- Tanker callsigns do not increment, see attached image. (Investigated:
Need to use `FlyingType.callsign_dict`, instead of just
`FlyingType.callsign`. This seems like it might be significant work
to do.).
- Having a flight of two or more tankers only spawns one tanker.
- Let me know if you have a solution, or feel free to commit one.

The AI purchaser will aim to have a 50/50 ground/air investment mix.
This allows it to overspend on one category if significant losses were
taken the previous turn.
The total purchase amount is still limited, so if the bases are full
when only 10% of the investment is in ground units, the full budget for
the turn will still go to air.
To avoid confusion, use only the aircraft list for the purchasable
aircraft. This fix also caught a faction's Tu-142 that was not actually
purchasable. Invalid aircraft in the faction aircraft list will now
raise an error.

This adds the models and UIs for creating ground unit transfer orders.
Most of the feature is still missing:
* The AI doesn't do them.
* Transfers can move across the whole map in one turn.
* Transfers between disconnected bases are allowed.
* Transfers are not modeled in the simulation, so they can't be
interdicted.

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.
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
Also separate out SEAD and DEAD taskings. Some aircraft can DEAD but not SEAD.
Also make the recruitment menu use the pretty names in the alphabetical sort func.
This feature allows you to cancel the sales of aircraft or ground vehicles if needed.
Upon clicking the minus button, a count of sold units will be appended to the unit count. This count responds to both further presses of the minus button, and also to presses of the plus button. No further units will be requested for the next turn until all sold units have been re-bought.
I've tested a bunch of different scenarios with this:
- Selling and rebuying a unit - the budget increases and decreases as expected.
- Selling one unit, buying a unit worth the new player budget, and then trying to rebuy the old unit - the old unit cannot be rebought until the budget has been freed up for it.
- Closing the base window and re-opening it - the sold unit count is retained.
- Ending the turn - the sold unit count is reset back to 0 as expected.

Doesn't allow helos or harriers to do it either even though they should
be able to because we don't currently support ground spawns, which would
be needed to prevent those aircraft from using the runway. Even then, I
don't know if they can be forced to *land* vertically.

Breaks save compat, but we need to have this knowledge outside the UI so
we can know whether or not we can ferry aircraft to the airfield without
overflowing parking.
This still leaves a bit to be desired, namely that selling aircraft
happens immediately but buying aircraft takes a turn. However, that's
how this behaved before, so this restores the 2.1 behavior. Worth
investigating further in the future.
Previously we were sorting by task first and price second. Much easier
to find things if they're sorted by name (although longer term we
should make the sort option selectable).
