* refactored mist message display code.
Functionality should be the same, but the backend should be more efficient. As stated earlier I also added the multSound entry which allows for multiple sound files to be played during the course of a single message at different times.

Entries added to DBs
-hidden
-AddPropAircraft
-mass
-canCargo
-categoryStatic
-startTime

=== Version 4.0 ===
* added a check when adding unitTypes for messages to figure out the correct in-game unit name for a given unit. For example the Mi-8 helicopter is always displayed as 'Mi-8MTV2', however its actual in game name is 'Mi-8MT', this feature allows for you to list 'Mi-8MTV2', 'Mi-8MTV', or 'Mi-8' to get messages sent to the Mi-8. Shortcut also works for the relevant aircraft 'Mig-21', 'Mig-15', 'FW-190', and 'Bf-109'.
* added mist.getAvgPos now accepts static objects in addition to units.
* made DB creation check the mission editor version for no paticular reason
* added mist.getLastDBUpdateTime which returns the most recent time the DB update function has run.
* changed mist.makeUnitTable processed entry to return the time it was processed instead of a boolean value.
* Changed teleport/respawn/clone functions to spawn aircraft at random altitudes instead of constants if the point given is vec2/not specified.
* Fixed FlagFuncs will now recognize units added in dynamically. Note this only applies if you send it unitTableNames identifier and not the table that the function creates.
* Added variable to all flagfuncs. unitTableDef is the original definition used for units.
* Fixed all getUserFlag checks to compare with numerical value instead of boolean
* Fixed check in mist.getUnitsLOS to verify units are active in a mission
* Fixed check in mist.goRoute to verify both the group and controller are valid before assigning the route
* fixed bug with dynAdd and dynAddStatic not recognizing new countries in dcs 1.5
* fixed bug with groupRandomDistSelf improperly declaring the y variable
* fixed flagFunc.units_in_moving_zones not checking for a unitNameTable for the zone_units
* fixed bug in flagFunc.units_LOS when given a unitNameTable for both entries.
=== Version 4.1 ===
* added mist.getAvgPoint(). Function is similar to mist.getAvgPos except it uses raw vec2/3 coordinates instead of units
* added mist.utils.roundTbl() Has the same input values as mist.utils.round except it accepts a table and it rounds all numbers in the first level of the table to the passed precision.
* added mist.utils.unitToWP( ) Convers a units current position to a WP table. Will also use the unit's current velocity for the speed variable.
* added mist.utils.vecToWP() Converts vec2/3 to a WP table {x,y alt}
* changed mist.utils.makeVec3 now supports being given a table in WP format. Specifically it now coverts a table {x, y, alt) to vec3
* fixed issue with dynAdd functions naming a group with the country ID insead of country name
* changed mist.utils.getDir 2nd variable is now optional
* Fixed issue with country names in the editor not matching enum country name values. For example "Best Korea" could not match with "BEST_KOREA". Thanks lukrop for this fix
* added check to DB update functions to only update if data from the group has changed from what is currently in the DB. This fixes an issue I had where some data was lost if you spawned a group normally after mission start and then used a respawn, clone, or teleport function on said group.
* Fixed locality issue with mist.getNorthCorrection
