Improved runway settings in the map editor.
Updated some localized text to reduce text overflow in the UI.

DLC Updates

Fixed an issue where collision warnings could fail to trigger between aircraft in the Cruising state.
Fixed an issue where the direction arrow would appear offset when dragging from an aircraft to a Waypoint while the game was paused.
Fixed an issue where landing points or Control Handoff Points could spawn at the endpoints of an Air Corridor.
Corrected some runway numbers at Munich Airport and Istanbul Airport.
