Update Starfire's campaigns (#3352)
This updates all ten of my campaigns with the improvements I made for
the Retribution versions. There are Retribution-specific units and
trigger zones in the miz templates, but I've tested them and they don't
appear to cause any issues (since Liberation will just ignore the
unknown units and trigger zones). This will make things easier for me in
the future, because then I don't have to maintain two separate sets of
the same campaign files.

The changes include a total redo of supply routes for better convoy
on-road pathing, as well as a balance pass for squadron distribution and
strength.

I have also made a slight edit to one of my faction files to fix a typo.

name: Marianas - Operation Velvet Thunder
theater: MarianaIslands
authors: Starfire
recommended_player_faction: USA 1970
recommended_enemy_faction: NVA 1970
description:
<p>Operation Velvet Thunder is a high-intensity training exercise designed to
prepare fresh troops for the challenges they will face in Vietnam. The dense
jungle and rugged terrain of the Mariana Islands will provide a realistic
backdrop, allowing our forces to hone essential skills in jungle warfare,
unconventional tactics, and counterinsurgency operations. There are multiple
checkpoints scattered across the area of operations that will have to be
captured by Air Assault. Due to the limited size and availability of LZs, it
is vital to pay close attention to where you designate troop drop off zones.
</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> This campaign is intended to be played with the
A-4 Skyhawk and OV-10a aircraft mods active. The C-101CC has also been included
as a stand-in for the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly in order to provide a CAS platform
of roughly equivalent combat capability. This campaign will be updated to use
Heatblur's F-4 Phantom II once it is in early access.</p>
