Intercept the same all along the flight path

Browse source 
In each sector, any country owning the sector, a surface ship or a
land unit gets to intercept.

Before, only the sector owner got to intercept, except for the target
sector.  There, any country owning surface ships or land units got to
intercept in addition to the sector owner.  Thus, a sector owner with
surface ships or land units there got to intercept twice.

Info Intercept claimed you get to intercept once for ships and once
again for land units, which was wrong since 4.0.9.

Info bomb suggested that flak fires only in the target sector, which
was wrong since 4.2.8.  Drop that.

If you have land units in the enemy plane's target sector, your plane will
intercept the enemy planes AGAIN. If you have non-sub ships in the enemy plane's
target sector, your planes will intercept them yet again. If you own
the target sector, and have ships & units there, your planes will therefore
intercept them a total of three times in that sector. Note that a 'target
sector' is a sector that is the target of a bombing or para mission. Merely
having ships in a sector will not cause interception of planes flying over.
