- Fixes ferry flights causing errors when "Nothing" is not available
- Logs a warning when a frontline stance is suddenly no longer available and uses defense stance as fallback which used to be the default. An investigation is still required to determine the cause of this...
This does show the theoretical parking use of full squadrons even when
the new rules are not enabled. Since limits can be enabled manually
later in the game, it's still useful information, even if it's a bit
misleading.

This PR adds utility functions that import/export landmap files to .miz
polygons. In addition to the unit test, this PR has been tested by
writing the Caucuses & Syria landmaps to a .miz file, loading the
generated .miz file back in and checking that the loaded landmap object
is identical to the original files.
Adds one waypoint with PointAction.Cone and then orders convoys on road. This is done to make convoys start to move immediately, instead of waiting (potentially) a long time for them to form up and actually start moving.
Credit to Farrago for suggesting this.
The stock Tornado is capable of the SEAD task in DCS, but not the CAS task, so use SEAD for Tornadoes when flying SEAD or DEAD missions. Also, feel free to add to the list if other airframes should use SEAD as well for cosmetic reasons (would show SEAD task in the mission editor and F10 map in-game).
All groups (friendly and enemy) that are part of the front line are set
to `Hidden On MFD`. This is a group level filter, and can not be applied
on a per unit basis.
With the new aircraft limitations for squadrons, airfields/fobs/farps could get overpopulated at campaign start. This would cause all sorts of gnarly things like squadrons ending up with a negative amount of "owned aircraft".
The previous method of using a uniform scalar of the MSL wind speed for
higher altitudes didn't offer enough control. In particular, the shape
needs to be quite different to skew low, mid, high.
This patch reworks that system so the parameters of each distribution
are configured per-altitude level. To keep some continuity between
altitudes (on a windy day, all levels should have higher wind speeds on
average), the wind speed of the lower altitude will be added to the
scale value of the higher altitude.
Since it wasn't practical to approximate the previous behavior with the
new system, this also handles the tuning of each. The low altitude
speeds remain mostly unchanged (typically around 5 knots expect for
thunderstorms), but the average speeds for other altitudes went up to
more closely match the previous intent but without the massive
overshoot. At 2000m wind speeds are typically in the 20-25 knot range
now, and 8000m 30-50 knots.
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-wind-speed-at-different-altitudes
has some of the source data, and Quora is the most authoritative source
there is. It claims that cruise altitude winds can get "as high as 150
knots", but doesn't claim anything about the average. I had a
surprisingly difficult time finding good data for cruise altitude air
speeds for non-jet stream paths (though many of our maps are in jet
streams), so I just eyeballed it from
https://turbli.com/wind-during-flights/.

Wind speeds should not be uniformly distributed. This switches to a
Weibull distribution which allegedly (see the bug) is good enough.
Experimentally that seems true as well, though I know nothing about how
wind works irl. This at least looks like it'll generate reasonable
variation in missions while keeping the 1st through 3rd quartile
behaviors from getting out of hand.
I'm very uncertain about the scaling factor aspect of this. Naively the
wind speeds at different altitudes ought to be somewhat correlated, but
I'm not sure how much, and whether this kind of scaling is at all the
right way to do it. As before, meh, close enough?
