Prevent or allow Mi8 and Huey to take troops and internal crate simultaneously? #163

Related to #141

Currently in RSR 4.0:

can load troops and logistics crate in any order OR
troops then JTAC crate but NOT JTAC crate then troops

Current intent of code is to only allow either troops or crate, not both.

However (from Discord discussion): "There should be some way for poor Huey and Mi8 pilots to defence themselves i.e. carry MANPAD group, whilst doing crucial repair/JTAC deployment missions for the team, with the only advantage these helos at the moment is 'cargo space'."

Needs further feedback from team.

You make an excellent point on the need for a manpad, and so I've rethought my position to be that you can take a manpad group with a crate, but not any other type. As a developer-time-saving measure I'd be content with allowing troops and crates for now (obviously in any order!).

I was tempted to say the Mi8 should be able to take both troops and a crate, and the Huey only one or the other, but I think for gameplay it's important that they have the same capabilities, internal cargo wise.
