zhexu14 211ec86e2e Apache speed fix (#3315)
This PR 1) introduces a cruise_speed parameter to the AircraftType class
and uses it as an override for default TOT/Ground Speed calculations and
2) sets this for the AH64.

The reason for this change is that air starts with the Apache at a speed
>130kt seems to completely break the FCR, even if you subsequently slow
down. In the development branch, Liberation sets the Apache to travel at
168kt, so any player air starting won't be able to use their FCR and it
wouldn't be readily apparent as to why.

In the longer run this parameter may also be useful for other aircraft
e.g. to override the cruise speed to the most efficient etc.

description:
The legendary 'Apache' is an US twin-turboshaft attack helicopter for
a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and
night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried
between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints
mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture
of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has significant
systems redundancy to improve combat survivability. American AH-64s have served
in conflicts in Panama, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel
used the Apache in its military conflicts in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. British
and Dutch Apaches have seen deployments in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
