This Pull Request lets users plan Tanker flights. Features: - Introduction of `Refueling` flight type. - Tankers can be purchased at airbases and carriers. - Tankers get planned by AI. - Tankers are planned from airbases and at aircraft carriers. - Tankers aim to be at high, fast, and 70 miles from the nearest threat. (A10s won't be able to tank) - Tankers racetrack orbit for one hour. - Optional Tickbox to enable legacy tankers. - S-3B Tanker added to factions. - KC-130 MPRS added to factions. - Kneeboard shows planned tankers, their tacans, and radios. Limitations: - AI doesn't know whether to plan probe and drogue or boom refueling tankers. - User can't choose tanker speed. Heavily loaded aircraft may have trouble. - User can't choose tanker altitude. A-10s will not make it to high altitude. Problems: - Tanker callsigns do not increment, see attached image. (Investigated: Need to use `FlyingType.callsign_dict`, instead of just `FlyingType.callsign`. This seems like it might be significant work to do.). - Having a flight of two or more tankers only spawns one tanker. - Let me know if you have a solution, or feel free to commit one. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/74509817/120909602-d7bc3680-c633-11eb-80d7-eccd4e095770.png

Special Thanks
First, a big thanks to shdwp, for starting the original DCS Liberation project.
Then, DCS Liberation uses pydcs for mission generation, and nothing would be possible without this. It also uses the popular Mist lua framework for mission scripting.
Excellent lua scripts DCS Liberation uses as plugins:
- For the JTAC feature, DCS Liberation embeds Ciribob's JTAC Autolase script.
- Walder's Skynet-IADS is used for Integrated Air Defense System.
Please also show some support to these projects !
