zhexu14 5af4e56f30 Add hit points to unit yamls.
This PR:

- Introduces a new member of UnitType, hit_points, which is an abstract
representation of the durability of a unit, and loads it in from the
YAML files in the various subclasses (Ship, Ground etc).
- Adds scripts for populating/updating the unit YAML files with hit
point data from DCS. This script also gets the data for static objects,
but I'll leave the plugging in of static object data into Liberation for
another PR.
- Updates the unit YAML files by running the above scripts.

I did toy with the idea of adding this data to the unit definitions in
pydcs via an export from DCS, but it would be a more involved change,
since the current pydcs export script runs in the Hooks Lua environment
in DCS and AFAICT the hit points (via Unit.getLife()) is run in the
mission scripting environment.

description: The Marder (German for "marten") is a German infantry fighting vehicle
operated by the German Army as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere (mechanized
infantry) from the 1970s through to the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding
of Germany's armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful
and solid infantry fighting vehicle design. While it used to include a few unique
features, such as a fully remote machine gun on the rear deck and gun ports on the
sides for infantry to fire through, these features have been deleted or streamlined
in later upgrade packages to bring it more in line with modern IFV design. Around
2,100 were taken into service by the German Army in the early 1970s, but the vehicle
in its German variant was not sold to any foreign militaries. As the German Army
began to retire older vehicles, the Chilean government agreed to acquire 200 Marders;
the government of Greece has considered the purchase of 450 retired vehicles in
the past. Argentina uses a simplified and locally produced variant, the VCTP, and
has a number of vehicles based on that platform constructed by Henschel and built
by TAMSE.
