        Combat Troop and Logistics Drop

        Allows Huey, Mi-8 and C130 to transport troops internally and Helicopters to transport Logistic / Vehicle units to the field via sling-loads
        without requiring external mods.

        Supports all of the original CTTS functionality such as AI auto troop load and unload as well as group spawning and preloading of troops into units.

        Supports deployment of Auto Lasing JTAC to the field

        Called when a new JTAC is spawned, it will wait one second for DCS to have time to fill the group with units, and then call ctld.JTACAutoLase.

        The goal here is to correct a bug: when a group is respawned (i.e. when any group with the name of a previously existing group is spawned),
        DCS spawns a group which exists (Group.getByName gets a valid table, and group:isExist returns true), but has no units (i.e. group:getUnits returns an empty table).
        This causes JTACAutoLase to call cleanupJTAC because it does not find the JTAC unit, and the JTAC to be put out of the JTACAutoLase loop, and never processed again.
        By waiting a bit, the group gets populated before JTACAutoLase is called, hence avoiding a trip to cleanupJTAC.
