Added Button to Access Quick Tech Assignment

[IllianiBird]

Recently we opened a dialog with the user base to try and identify pain points and areas of friction.

One of the requested features was the ability to more easily assign techs to unassigned units. That technology was implemented earlier in the year but wasn't well advertised. Now we add a nice shiny ui button in the hangar for the user to mash which will not only assign techs, but also inform the user of the automated option in MekHQ Options.

Pull request overview

Adds a Hangar UI affordance to trigger the existing “automatic assignment of techs to unmaintained units” feature, including a confirmation/nag dialog and an option to suppress that confirmation in MekHQ Options.

Changes:

• Add “Quick Assign Maintenance Techs” button to the Hangar tab that runs AutomatedTechAssignments after confirmation.
• Introduce a new nag/confirmation key (CONFIRMATION_ASSIGN_TECHS) and expose a “hide confirmation” toggle in the Options dialog.
• Add/extend i18n strings for the new button, option checkbox, and confirmation dialog text.
