-Disabled horde (for now).
-Formation button updates.
-Added new Ammo Truck button.

-Mouse widget appears when attempting to drop ammo where it is overlapping.
-Ammo preview turn red when it's not droppable.
-Hid the team name text for the Defense Team tab (since it was messing w/ DNA display at some resolutions).
