Due to #5883, Chrono's effects are visible through fog of war.
Description of the proposed changes
Use LOD instead of making the effects always visible. The 1100 LOD makes it always visible from a max zoomed out view on a 10 km map, and for 20 km maps, visible if about 1/4th of the map is visible. This is appropriate for the huge AoE Chrono has: it's larger than a nuke's inner radius. It's still weaker than a nuke, so it doesn't have unlimited LOD.
I used the emitter editor to make the changes so the file format is changed.
Testing done on the proposed changes
Build a chrono ACU and have it groundfire. Zoom out to see the effects are visible at a reasonable zoom level. Switch to civilian army and turn on fog of war to check that the effects don't emit if the ACU is not visible.
Checklist
[x] Changes are documented in the changelog for the next game version
