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.

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.
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.
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?

We're still using mostly the same aircraft selection as we have before
we added squadrons: the closest aircraft is the best choice.
This adds an option to obey the primary task set by the campaign
designer (can be overridden by players), even if the squadron is farther
away than one that is capable of it as a secondary task.
I don't expect this option to live very long. I'm making it optional for
now to give people a chance to test it, but it'll either replace the old
selection strategy or will be removed.

After this change, players will always have the final say in what
missions a squadron can be assigned to. Squadrons are not able to
influence the default auto-assignable missions either because that
property is always overridden by the campaign's air wing configuration
(the primary and secondary task properties). The `mission-types` field
of the squadron definition has been removed since it is no longer
capable of influencing anything. I haven't bothered cleaning up the now
useless data in all the existing squadrons though.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2785.
Preferred aircraft per task are now determined by a ranking of weights
stored in the aircraft yaml files. To aid in visualizing the priorities
across aircraft, Liberation can be run with the argument
dump-task-priorities to dump a yaml file in Saved
Games/DCS/Liberation/Debug/priorities.yaml, which will show each task
along with priority sorted aircraft and their weights.
The current weights in the data were exported from the existing lists,
where each position from the bottom of the list was worth 10 (to allow
some games for less shuffling later).

We've actually been pretty good at getting this right in most of the
code base, but we've missed it in a few places. Python defaults to the
encoding of the current locale unless otherwise specified, and for a US
English Windows install that's cp1252, not UTF-8. I'm not brave enough
to change the locale at startup because I don't know how that might
affect CJK encoding users (or for that matter, non-Latin derived
alphabet UTF-8 variants).

Probably the final Fix#97
Unused aircraft (assigned upon takeoff) would get claimed but since it's not possible to delete those flights after aborting, these flights wouldn't get released anymore. This should fix that issue, including a migrator change to correct the number of claimed aircraft per squadron.
