This patch adds information about aircraft regarding their type, when purchasing or auto-replacing an aircraft.
You may also sort by it, on the same window. Since v3, this information is also displayed on the newspaper, on the engine preview window and on the aircraft details window.



Caveat:
There may be issues with NewGRFs that also display this kind of information, you may find it repeating in a similar fashion.

v4
- renames some String IDs.
- reuses already translated parts of some strings from all languages and combines them with the missing "aircraft type" in english.

There was a request to split v4 into two patches. First patch is ready.
EDIT: 2nd patch is ready.

Amends one of the separate patches, by request. v2
- Unlike v1, v2 doesn't re-use already translated parts of some strings and doesn't combine them
- v2 deletes 3 unused strings from all language files, if found:

STR_ENGINE_PREVIEW_COST_MAX_SPEED_CAPACITY_CAPACITY_RUNCOST
STR_ENGINE_PREVIEW_COST_MAX_SPEED_RANGE_CAPACITY_CAPACITY_RUNCOST
STR_ENGINE_PREVIEW_COST_MAX_SPEED_RANGE_CAPACITY_RUNCOST
