[FIXED B492] bug: AI does not keep illluminating for sarh missiles fired

Simple bug.
To replicate: use a plane that carries only 1 missile. The mirage IIIea with single matra magic R.530 missile is a good example. I encountered this bug when trying to engage sea harriers with my mirages - in the community malvinas scenario.
The plane will RTB immediately after firing it's sole missile, this will break the radar lock and the missile will self-destruct. Thus this loadout is completely useless unless micromanaged.
Suggested fix: An entity should check to see if is providing illumination/datalink for live ordnance. If no then RTB is ok. If yes then the unit should continue providing illumination.
