Introduce an option to switch waypoints to AMSL when waypoint is above water. DCS references the bottom of the sea when using AGL, which causes issues for helicopters when they try to fly at altitudes that are lower that the sea bottom, giving them a tendency to fly into the water...
* Update settings.py
Replace blue/red with ownfor/opfor
Also replaced all the NMI with NM. NMI is used by IEEE. NM is used by the military.
Also added in two missing periods.
* Update QSettingsWindow.py
Changed Red ATO to OPFOR ATO

* 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

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.
- Pretense: Extra friendly zone connections - Add connections from each zone to this many closest friendly zones, which don't have an existing supply route defined in the campaign.
- Number of cargo planes per side
- Number of AI SEAD flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI CAS flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI BAI flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI Strike flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI BARCAP flights per control point / zone
- Number of AI aircraft per flight
- Number of player flights per aircraft type at each base
- Number of AI cargo planes per side
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
* Unlimited fuel for AI flights. For player flights, included at startup, for AI flights with join/split, applied at join/split.
* Unlimited fuel for AI flights. For player flights, included at startup, for AI flights with join/split, applied at join/split.
* Corrected default value of ai_unlimited_fuel to False in configure_behavior
* ai_unlimited_fuel : set argument based on setting and simplify activation section
* AI Unlimited Fuel : enable at start, disable at racetrack start/join, enable at racetrack end/split
* Correct typing : bool to Optional[bool]

* Helicopter waypoint altitude configurable
Added a new option in Settings: Helicopter waypoint altitude (feet AGL).
It sets the waypoint altitude for helicopters in feet AGL. In campaigns in more mountainous areas, you might want to increase this setting to avoid the AI flying into the terrain.
* black?
* Distinguish cruise/combat altitudes for helicopters
Also includes a refactor for WaypointBuilder so it doesn't need a coalition. It can already reference the coalition from the flight.
* Update changelog.md

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
* Auto-ato AWACS & Tankers settings
Split off the **Automatic AWACS package planning** and **Automatic Theater tanker package planning** settings from **Automatic package planning behavior** so players can choose to have AWACS and theater tankers auto-planned, while managing everything else themselves.
* Drop logic to child-classes
* Enable AWACS auto-planning by default
* Switch order of preconditions
