Add a Thermal and a Refualling scenario

David Culp: I was going through the Ai scenarios and see that some of them are not necessary. Also, I've added some documentation to the other scenarios. And I moved the thunderstorm over San Francisco, so you don't have to take off to see it. The files are attached.

<!-- Notes:
This scenario puts a thermal over the tower at KSFO.
The <height> tag defines the upper limit of the thermal.
AI thermals have some limitations, i.e. they don't lean
downwind, they are only cylindrical in shape, they don't
interact with the terrain or weather, and AFAIK they only
work with the JSBSim FDM. Try using the sgs233 model for
a good demonstration.

David Culp: Here are files to get automated contrails working. I've set up contrails for the 737, using my simple, untextured contrail model. Vivian has made another contrail model, but I'm still trying to get his to work. I'm hoping others will try to make contrail models also. Here's some code that defines a top to thermals. When the top of a thermal is reached the strength is phased-out linearly over the next 100 feet of altitude. At first I tried just capping the thermal at the top, but the change in thermal strength was too fast for the FDM to handle well. Included is a new version of the thermal scenario that includes a top (height-msl) to the thermal. The default value is 5000 feet.
