Update v0.0.10

Hello! It's time for an update to the main branch of VTOL VR.

Most of the changes in this update are small fixes and improvements for issues brought up in the public_testing branch. There are also several new units and weapons available in existing missions and the mission editor.

The map editor isn't ready for general use yet, so it will remain available only on the opt-in public_testing branch, however I've included one of the test maps which can be flown in a custom mission for the AV-42C. You can also create custom missions of your own in this map using either vehicle in the mission editor.

While my main targets for the update haven't been reached yet, I wanted to push a main branch update so at least everyone will benefit from the numerous fixes and improvements.

Here are the highlights:

The Island mission 7
Trees and updated terrain/environment textures
MK-82 AIR (high drag) bombs for both vehicles
Rockets for the F/A-26B
Rocket salvo options (fire multiple rockets at the same time)
Enemy units: Aircraft carrier, stationary AAA turrets, MANPADS, rocket-launcher droneships
Allied units: Main battle tanks, MANPADS
AV-42C HUD declutter switch
Visor and NVG buttons to help WMR users
