Custom cruise missiles

[DeathFishAtEase]

From RockPatch to Ares, custom missiles have never had a way to enter cruise missile mode, so neither RP's MissileRaiseRate nor Ares' Missile.RaiseRate have ever been effective, and modders cannot create another type of cruise missile beyond the type set in [General] -> CMislType=. Now, you can customize whether a custom missile is a cruise missile.

• The take-off animation of a cruise missile is actually the continuously created trail smoke during the ascent phase, rather than the animation created only once at launch like a conventional missile. Now, the creation interval of this animation can be customized via Missile.TakeOffSeparation.

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMEAIRCRAFT]                ; AircraftType with Missile.Custom=yes
Missile.Cruise=false          ; boolean
Missile.TakeOffSeparation=24  ; integer

Note

Like Ares' Missile.TrailerSeparation, Missile.TakeOffSeparation also works without requiring Missile.Custom=true, which means it can be directly applied to the unit with [General] -> CMislType= without completely rewriting it as a custom missile.

The original implementation comes from my modified Ares, thanks to @NetsuNegi for the help provided during the porting process.
