Intended Change
Remove the CANNOTUSEAIRSTAGING category from the Mercy (DAA0206) so it can use air staging facilities and aircraft carriers, like most other air units.

Reasoning
Since the mercy rework, the mercy is now an anti t1/t2 army / structure / buildpower unit and no longer a snipe-unit so I see no reason to lock it out of carriers. I believe the main reason it was locked out was to limit their attack range with low amount of fuel before the rework. Now the mercy, while good, has an incredibly small window of opportunity that can be expanded with this change.

Expected behavior
The Mercy can now land on air staging and dock on / be built by aircraft carriers. No change to its health, damage, cost, build time, or any other stat.

Poem

A flag takes flight and bids farewell,
No staging for this bomber's spell,
The list grows lean, the categories trim,
One swift edit, clean and slim. 🐰✨
