This alters the DEAD task planning to be the *least* preferred task, but prevents other tasks from being planned unless they are excepted to be clear of air defenses first. Even so, missions are a guaranteed success so those other missions will still get SEAD escorts if there's potential for a SAM in the area. This means that air defenses that are not protecting a more useful target (like a convoy, armor column, building, etc) will no longer be considered by the mission planner. This isn't *quite* right since we currently only check the target area for air defenses rather than the entire flight plan, so there's a chance that we ignore IADS that have threatened ingress points (though that's mostly solved by the flight plan layout). This also is still slightly limited because it's not checking for aircraft availability at this stage yet, so we may aggressively plan missions that we should be skipping unless we can guarantee that the DEAD mission was planned. However, that's not new behavior.

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 !
