Black Market and POI spawning Covert Actions #591

Closes #587

The patrol wilderness covert action is in the regular monthly pool.

The black market covert action is guaranteed to show up at the beginning of the game and every single month thereafter until it is started. If the action is started then aborted, it will respawn after the next supply drop. Once it is fully completed, it will never spawn again. This action does not replace one of the regular monthly actions.

Why not just flag the BM action as golden path and skip the entire custom spawning logic?

Tried that, it creates the BM action for all three factions instead of the starting one specifically.

Check how "find farthest faction" limiting is done

Maybe instead of making the BM CA take a month, we increase the scan time required after the CA is completed?

Two things to consider:

Currently the CA loc sounds like you will be able to use the BM right after the CA completes (Our smuggler friends have set up shop again, and they want our business."), while implementation-wise you will still need to scan
If we increase the duration of scanning, it will increase the scanning duration required when the BM opens up again after the "Gone to Ground" DE is over

Alright, those are good points. Let's leave it as is.
