Implemented MCDU AIRWAYS page

[noteas]

Description of Changes

Dear A320-family contributors,

Merry Christmas Eve. After several days' work, I have roughly implemented MCDU AIRWAYS page, solving issues #280 and #283. However, it may still need further testing, especially in a complete flight. By the way, I added a link of a detailed guide for navdata installation on FG Wiki to README.md.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Best wishes,
noteas

Thank you very much.
We'll take a look at it.

I also wish you a merry xmas.

Are we sure that DCT legs can in fact be inserted using the AIRWAYS page?

[merspieler]

Afaik no, you enter the airway and your exit way point til which you follow the airway, there're no DCT legs

[legoboyvdlp]

Yes, that's what I was wondering, I thought the standard practice was using NEXT WPT to insert DCT legs.

[merspieler]

yep

[legoboyvdlp]

Actually thinking, maybe it would be worth merging this ... even though it's not strictly correct, at least it can be used as a base, and then after FlightGear 2020.4, the airways API can be included?

@merspieler ?

[merspieler]

@legoboyvdlp I'm not really familiar with that part of the code, I trust your judgment on this.
From a project side of view, both sound fine to me.

[merspieler]

@legoboyvdlp this pr is still open, you did suggest merging it, what do you say?

I'm getting an error, entering the following route
EDDM TURB6S TURBU Y107 ASVUT Q984 VOG M858 LIGUR LIGU2L LFKC
I've first entered SID and STAR, then went TURBU - > AIRWAYS entered Y107. upon trying to enter ASVUT I got the following error:

  953.95 [ALRT]:nasal      Nasal runtime error: flightplan.indexOfWP called on leg from different flightplan
  953.95 [ALRT]:nasal        at /games/.fgfs/Aircraft/A320-family/Nasal/MCDU/AIRWAYS.nas, line 83

As far as I'm aware the merge request is only to add DCT legs, not airways? That being said, it shouldn't result in a nasal error if you try to add an airway, it should fail with a scratchpad message (e.g. "NOT IMPLEMENTED");

The reason is because the airways API was not made functional yet in the stable versions of flightgear, also because I can't run 2020.4 on Intel hardware (it stops rendering - yes, literally) I can't make it functional.

The E-jet-family is the only one that I know of that does work at this time

[merspieler]

I've got no clue, just tested it... maybe at @noteas can take a look at it.
And what if we condition the page call to the version, like we do it with that one canvas attribute for example?

What is the status of this?
