3862ec1b2e Convert escort request to a waypoint property.
Another step in reducing the rigidity of FlightPlan and making it
testable.

There is one intentional behavior change here: escort flights no longer
request escorts. That actually has a very minimal effect because these
properties are only used for two things: determining if a package needs
escorts or not, and determining when the TARCAP should show up and
leave. Since escorts won't have been in the package when the first part
happens anyway, that has no effect. The only change is that TARCAP won't
show up earlier or stay later just because of a TOT offset for an escort
flight.

cb3bf56d84 Add a real CAS ingress point.
Putting the ingress point directly on one end of the FLOT means that AI
flights won't start searching and engaging targets until they reach that
point. If the front line has advanced toward the flight's departure
airfield, it might overfly targets on its way to the IP.

Instead, place an IP for CAS the same way we place any other IP. The AI
will fly to that and start searching from there.

This also:

* Removes the midpoint waypoint, since it didn't serve any real purpose
* Names the FLOT boundary waypoints for what they actually are

1a255969a7 Fix drop zone display for air assault.
Troops must be dropped inside this zone or they won't attack the target.
The zone needs to be drawn in the map so players don't break the flight
plan by accidentally moving the drop waypoint outside the DZ.

I've move the API for doing this out of `PatrollingFlightPlan` in favor
of a mixin so this is no longer presented as `engagement_distance` by
the flight plan. I don't love that it's still the `commit-boundary`
endpoint, but it's fine for now.

I don't know why mypy wasn't able to catch this. pycharm is also
struggling to understand this class.

b9b1f51957 Rename frontline vector to bounds, add a class.
This isn't actually the data that callers usually want. Most of the
callers just want the bounds. The heading and length are trivially
computed from that. Add a class to contain the result so it's easier to
refactor.

4521053804 Move FlightPlan instantiation into the builder.
I'm working on moving the builder to be owned by the Flight, which will
simplify callers that need to create (or recreate) flight plans for a
flight.

769fe12159 Split flight plan layout into a separate class.
During package planning we don't care about the details of the flight
plan, just the layout (to check if the layout is threatened and we need
escorts). Splitting these will allow us to reduce the amount of work
that must be done in each loop of the planning phase, potentially
caching attempted flight plans between loops.

fa8c0d9660 Clean up flight plan code.
Split the oversized file into one per plan type. This also moves the
layout responsibility out of the oversized FlightPlanBuilder and into
each flight plan type file.
