MP Fallback models

MP Fallback models allow an aircraft developer to set what aircraft model be used to render their aircraft over MP if a user doesn't have their aircraft installed.
To make use of this feature, simply set /sim/model/fallback-model-index in the aircraft -set.xml file to one of the indexes in /AI/Aircraft/fallback_models.xml.
This is then transmitted over the MP system and used by other clients.
For example;
<sim>
<model>
<fallback-model-index>6</fallback-model-index>
...
will use the Cub model, as index 6 refers to it in fallback_models.xml:
