Betaversion of Harrier STOVL capability introduced, add to README:

Harrier (AV8B) can now perform Short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). 
It is controled with "Autohover ON/OFF" action. 
When activated, there is no such autopilot for slowdown that helicopters use. 
Thrust vector is just rotated downwards. Q/Z keys control only airplane speed. 
There are no keys for control over vertical thrust, 
so it is not possible to hover up/down like in helicopter. 
Takeoff procedure:
- activate Autohover 
- extend full flaps (2x crtl+K)
- gain some speed by holding Q for a short while and then release it.
- once in the air, retract gear (crtl+G)
- hold Q a little longer until you move fast enough
- retract flaps as you build more speed (2x ctrl+L)
- at aprox 180kmph toggle autohover off and control flight as regular aircraft
Landing procedure:
- reduce speed and altitude same way as during conventional landing 
- extend full flaps (2x crtl+K), drop gear (crtl+G)
- hold Z to reduce speed 
- at aprox 180 kmph activate Autohover 
- pitch nose up to reduce speed, check speed, height and flight path vector indicated on HUD
- hold Z for descent at aprox 2m/s 
- at touchdown toggle autohover off
