v 1.6.0 - new Carrier Operations module

- new veafCarrierOperations2 module that uses Moose.AIRBOSS
- updated Moose to latest #develop branch version
- corrected a bug in veafRadio (forGroup and Secured options were not combinable)
- added a VeafDynamicLoader script to help with dynamic mission scripts loading (for development, see VEAF-Open-Training-Mission and VEAF-Demo-Mission)
- some minor cleanups and bug corrections
