Added new options in settings:
- Carriers steam into wind
- Navmesh to use for Pretense carrier zones
- Remove ground spawn statics, including invisible FARPs, at airbases.
- Percentage of randomly selected aircraft types (only for generated squadrons)
intended to allow the user to increase aircraft variety.
Will now store the ICLS channel and Link4 frequency in missiondata.py CarrierInfo.
Implemented artillery groups as Pretense garrisons. Artillery groups are spawned by the Artillery Bunker. Will now also ensure that the logistics units spawned as part of Pretense garrisons are actually capable of ammo resupply.
Fixed the Pretense generator generating a bit too many missions per squadron. Ground spawns: Also hot start aircraft which require ground crew support (ground air or chock removal) which might not be available at roadbases. Also, pretensetgogenerator.py will now correctly handle air defence units in ground_unit_of_class(). Added Roland groups in the Pretense generator.
* Implemented support for the VSN Super Étendard v2.5.5

Implemented CAS helo mission handling for Pretense. Implemented separate pretense_air_groups container for storing/referencing Flight objects. Tweaked the supply costs of SAM sites and Command centers. Will no longer generate player air starts at roadbases either. Restored the missing DEAD flights to Pretense. Removed spawning of frontline units and moved the JTAC spawning to pretensemissiongenerator.py
Implemented Pretense settings in pretense_compiled.lua
Added new function moveOffRoadToPointAndAssault() to enable assault groups to drive off-road and thus avoid some of the bridges where they might get stuck.
