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.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1892.
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.

* Don't generate runway data for heliports.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2710.
* Remove dead code.
* Implemented support for Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod
The Chiller Juice Studios Super Hornet mod works like this: it changes the stock F/A-18C Hornet into F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet / Growler. The exact variant is selected with argument 999 in the livery description.lua, which is why I chose to add the three variants in the FA-18C_hornet.yaml. This way, we can use the squadrons mechanism in Liberation to select the appropriate variant by specifying the correct livery for the squadron.
Current properties injected are wingspan / width and the custom ordnance added by the mod.
Added F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake and F/A-18F icon.
Resolves https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2681
* Added a separate loadout file for the Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod. Currently only replaces the FPU-8A fuel tanks with FPU-12s.
* Added the possibility to use the AI variant of the F/A-18C in campaigns, allowing different loadouts and in the future, the Super Hornet mod alongside legacy Hornets in the same campaign.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.0. Removed the 1.x version property and pylon injection since they are no longer necessary, since 2.0 adds the Super Hornet variants as separate aircraft. For the same reason, removed the AI-only F/A-18C from the faction files (still retained the aircraft yaml, loadout files and icon/banner in case someone still wants to use it).
Includes F/A-18E/F/G banner by Schmokedpancake, loadouts by @sgtfuzzle17 and F/A-18E/F icons.
* Added Super Hornet, Growler squadrons and Growler banner by @sgtfuzzle17
The squadrons include the model of the airframe in their name, so they can be referenced directly from campaign yaml files without the risk of conflicting with the same squadron of a different era, flying a different airframe.
Also updated the E and G model icons.
Resolves#77
* Fixed a bug with the EA-18G banner not being visible in Retribution. Also added the Super Hornet variants to factions bluefor_modern and Israel-USN_2005_Allied_Sword.
* Corrected the descriptions for tandem-seat Super Hornet variants.
* Updated Chiller Juice Studios F/A-18E/F/G Super Hornet mod support to version 2.1
* Anti-ship loadouts are now named properly.
* Update changelog.md
* Update QNewGameWizard.py

3 items handled:
- Enable/Disable player checkbox if (not) flyable
- Disable player list in air wing config dialog for non-flyable aircraft
- Update changelog
- Filter the list of available aircraft by bases and only add aircrafts which can be operated
- Only enable the accept button when a base is selected
fixes#2127
Users can now add and remove squadrons with specific buttons. this also allows new aircraft types to be added as well.
- rebased existing PR to develop
- reverted observable and changed to signals
- changed the general concept so that changes only affect the ui data model and not the game directly. Game will only be updated on apply
- removed unused code
- adopt to review comments
- allow user to choose a predefined squadron preset (also alow none value to use the random generator)
- Reuse the squadron defs from the default assigner in the AirWing class
- allow user to re-roll the squadron nickname (also added new ui icons for the button)
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):
File "qt_ui\main.py", line 29, in <module>
File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 476, in exec_module

ImportError: could not import module 'PySide6.QtPrintSupport'
```
The air wing config was fixing the main `mission_types` field, but the
`auto_assignable_mission_types` property had already been set. Update
that field whenever the `mission_types` are changed.
Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/1515
After completing the new game wizard but before initializing turn 0,
open a dialog to allow the player to customize their air wing. With this
they can remove squadrons from the game, rename them, add players, or
change allowed mission types. *Adding* squadrons is not currently
supported, nor is changing the squadron's livery (the data in pydcs is
an arbitrary class hierarchy that can't be safely indexed by country).
This only applies to the blue air wing for now.
Future improvements:
* Add squadron button.
* Collapse disable squadrons to declutter?
* Tabs on the side like the settings dialog to group by aircraft type.
* Top tab bar to switch between red and blue air wings.
