Fast combat and evaluate your builds against many different squads

The new version makes it very easy to try a combat. Just select 2 squads from a list of 70+ pre-built squads given by the community and jump into the combat. Or build your squad, add it to your list of squads and evaluate it in combat against very different builds. The prebuilt squads are featuring all unique pilots, and are coming from registered lists in championships, locals or worldwide (X-Wing Juggler).

Selecting squads from a list
In more details, here are the list of features added to this version:
* Main screen: from there, you can either import squads, create new ones or just select two squads from a prebuilt list. This list is extracted from X-Wing Juggler. Each unique pilot belongs to at least one squad, so it's easy now to try plenty of different builts, without the need to build all these squads ! When 2 squads are selected, press "Next" for Combat. To keep the load time manageable, only 70 squads are shown.
* Squad builder: separate squad building process, in a new screen. The screen scrolls now, including on pads and phones. The squads you build are automatically added to the list, in the main screen. They are stored in your browser, no need to register.
Build a new squad to add to the list
* Combat: same screen as before. The lists of units can also be scrolled.
* All messages are now in English & French (select the appropriate flag), including those appearing in the console.
* The AI tries harder to stay in the game area. It is still a very simple opponent. 
* All pilots are now done: 155/155 ! Some upgrades still need to be done: 149/162.

There are also some bug corrections.
