Default Help calculating Speed To Fly for headwind and tailwind

To be more clear I should have said the wind only impacts speed for
best glide range to a landing. There are of course also cases where
the next thermal cannot be reached unless wind is taken into account
but that too is a best range solution not a best speed solution.
