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
