Mission Editor: Hold / Hover task for Helicopters

[Branli]

It would be great for mission building to have Hold / Hover tasks for Helicopters. This way you have a more refined control what the behavior would be when a helicopter reaching a certain waypoint, instead of having to find workarounds with orbit or adding a second waypoint with a very slow movement speed which all have annoying side effects.

Parameters what would be nice are:
- Duration of hold / hover
- Direction / heading of hold / hover
- Removing the task hold / hover will cause the helicopter to resume its normal behavior / moving a long its waypoints or route.

Good idea.  As a workaround - have you tried to make it follow a stationary, invisible unit placed in the hover location?
