Everyone seems to do pretty okay generally, with the exception of
estimating ground ops time, which I've also increased (and is a
non-issue for runway/air start defaults).
We were setting up all the correct *target* waypoints but the AI doesn't
use the target waypoints; they use the targets property of the ingress
waypoint. This meant that the flight plan looked correct in the UI and
was correct for players but the tasks were set up incorrectly for the AI
because building TGOs are aggravatingly multiple TGOs with the same name
in the implementation.
Mission targets now enumerate their own strike targets so that this
mistake is harder to make in the future.
This won't be perfect, the AI is still not able to parallelize tasks and
since buildings aren't groups they can only attack one structure at a
time, but they'll now at least switch to the next target after hitting
the first one.
As a bonus, stop bombing the dead buildings.

The priority list was guiding the purchase decision which largely meant
that this was working correctly, but there were suboptimal cases where
the list was being taken in FIFO order by purchased type. This fixes the
search to be locally optimal, although this does still mean that a worse
but closer aircraft will be chosen over a better but slightly farther
away aircraft. We'd need to have a quality vs distance rating to do
better.

Loadout selection no longer has two (disagreeing) implementations. What
the UI shows is now what the miz will have.
We now store the chosen layout in the Flight *always*, not just for
custom loadouts. This means that we do loadout lookups at the start of
each turn, but the data is cached in pydcs.
Era-specific loadout degradation is still done at generation (and
presentation) time. This is so that players can toggle that option and
have it affect the *current* turn, rather than the next one.
Many of the aircraft that we use for DEAD are not actually capable of
the SEAD task in DCS, so they were being loaded as some other task type,
usually one that doesn't support Attack Group, which made them lose
their waypoint actions and do nothing.
This switches them to using CAS which supports a superset of the SEAD
capable aircraft.
I've also audited the SEAD/DEAD lists. The F-117 was removed because it
is not capable of Attack Group *at all*, and all the non-SEAD aircraft
that are capable of ground attack moved from SEAD to DEAD.

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:**
An objective:
How the objective looks once in the mission planner/editor. This objective belongs to the enemy faction:
A was intended to be the blue point and B was intended to be the red
point. Make this a part of the name so that's clear, and clean up
related code to keep that reliable.
