Summary0028442: Show riding units when selecting rider
DescriptionWhen I want to switch between different units in a transport I have to go back to the transport and then select the next unit. It's a lot of clicking and waving the cursor back and forth just to select the next unit I want. If the right side transport bar stayed while the rider was selected as well then it would be very convenient.

Thanks!

* In the lower left corner, instead of showing the clearance for vehicles, it now shows how many passengers they can carry, if any, and the count of how many they are carrying right now.

* A number of vehicles have had their passenger capacities adjusted a bit. In general, up to 9 passengers are allowed now rather than 8, and in no case is fewer than 3 allowed if they carry passengers at all.

* The teeny-tiny "units in a vehicle" sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen no longer exists, as that was hard to see, hard to use, not in a spot that was visually linked to its parent vehicle, and in general in the way.

* The icon for "load into a vehicle" has been turned back to the shuttle-like icon that it used to be, rather than being the more crane-arm-like icon it became during the tenure of "command mode load mode."

* The sixth entry on all of the vehicles that can carry units is now Unload, and is available only when they actually have passengers in them.
** Since all units can now sprint to vehicles, there is no reason for there to be any special load functionality other than selecting the unit and then right-clicking the target vehicle to get into.
** When you open this ability, it opens a new window that shows all of the units riding in the vehicle, and lets you click them to select them. Critically, this window does not go away when a different unit is selected, or no unit is selected. This allows you to select one, unload it, select the next, etc.
*** This window only goes away when there are either no units left in the vehicle, or the player hits the escape key or clicks the X button on the window.
