077ca19912 Add ammo depots to Abu Dhabi and Inherent Resolve.
IR gets one per base to maintain the old behavior. Abu Dhabi has a bit
more variety, with major bases like Al Dhafra and Bandar Abbas getting
two and FOBs getting none.

Let map objects be Strike targets.
This PR allows campaign creators to incorporate map objects (referred to as Scenery in the code) into their Liberation campaign.

Map objects are defined using white trigger zones created by right clicking on scenery and clicking `assign as...`.   Objective groups are defined by creating a blue TriggerZone surrounding the centers of the white trigger zones.  The type of objective is determined by the campaign creator, assigning the value of the first property of the blue TriggerZone with the objective type.

Map objects maintain their visually dead state by assigning a `Mission Start` `Scenery Object Dead` trigger to the trigger zone.  It is important for the Liberation generated TriggerZone to be as small as possible so that no other scenery is marked dead by DCS.

TriggerZones are hidden during gameplay (DCS behavior.  I don't know if it's possible to turn that off.)  TriggerZones are visible in the mission editor and mission planner however.  If a player is using an older plane, it is important for them to remember where the target is.

In the mission planner, the trigger zones' will be blue or red depending on which faction the map objects belong to.

Inherent Resolve campaign has been modified to integrate scenery objects.

### **Limitations:**
- Objective definitions (Any Blue TriggerZones) in campaign definition cannot overlap.
- Map object deaths in `state.json` is tracking integers.  You won't know what died until debriefing.
- No images for the various buildings.  In theory it can be done, but an unreasonable amount of work.
- Every blue trigger zone must have a unique name.  (If you let DCS auto increment the names this is not a concern.
- No output to screen when scenery object is dead.  You can see the building drawn as dead in the F10 map though.


### **Pictures:**

How the objective looks once in the mission planner/editor.  This objective belongs to the enemy faction:

42694d2004 Update 3.0 compatible campaigns to latest version.
Adds shipping lanes to Battle of Abu Dhabi. The others are acking the

are needed.

eff5b94db7 Add factory placement to the campaign files.
This also removes the "factory" type from the normal strike target
(money generating) generators to avoid confusion. Later only control
points with factories will be able to spawn ground units, at which point
these will no longer generate income.

df80ec635f Add a new miz file based campaign generator.
Defining a campaign using a miz file instead of as JSON has a number of
advantages:

* Much easier for players to mod their campaigns.
* Easier to see the big picture of how objective locations will be laid
  out, since every control point can be seen at once.
* No need to associate objective locations to control points explicitly;
  the campaign generator can claim objectives for control points based
  on distance.
* Easier to create an IADS that performs well.
* Non-random campaigns are easier to make.

The downside is duplication across campaigns, and a less structured data
format for complex objects. The former is annoying if we have to fix a
bug that appears in a dozen campaigns. It's less an annoyance for
needing to start from scratch since the easiest way to create a campaign
will be to copy the "full" campaign for the given theater and prune it.

So far I've implemented control points, base defenses, and front lines.
Still need to add support for non-base defense TGOs.

This currently doesn't do anything for the `radials` property of the
`ControlPoint` because I'm not sure what those are.
