* Fog/Frost and Securing: added plane cover implementation

Starting cold&dark in winter with no plane cover makes the plane frosted.
Use the "clean aircraft" button to remove frost and snow.
To prevent, a plane cover ca be applied using the aircraft-securing dialog.

Fog/Frost refactored regarding cleaning/inducing:
- Added /fdm/jsbsim/heat/init-moisture to quick-add fog/frost condition
- Aircraft cleaning button now also removes frost/fog (it's being scraped/wiped away)

* Cover 3D-model from @TheFGFSEagle, thank you very much :)
