Adding colors to mainline BN mods?

[thelonestander]

Basically, I think it would be a good idea to color code the mainline BN mods. I think it would be nice for organization.

I think C.R.I.T. should be red, aftershock should be yellow.

Balancing mods I think should be green.

Black listed mods could be dark green.

Just an idea for some mod organization, and since only a few 3rd part mods use colors this could be nice for showing at a glance what mods ae base BN.

Such change will require forbidding modders from specifying custom colors of their mod's name, otherwise any semblance of organization will be lost behind a multitude of attention-grabbing highlights.

Balancing mods I think should be green.
Black listed mods could be dark green.

Ideally we'd have a single list split by categories instead of the obnoxious subcategories within nested Default/Blacklist/Balance tabs we have right now. Then such division won't be needed, as each type will be under proper category header.

Here's an alternative idea - use 4 colors in total:

1. Mainline mods
2. External mods
3. Mainline mods overridden by external mods
4. Obsolete mods
5. (Potentially) "Bridge" mods (idea from [Idea] Automatic glue mod management CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA#60351 )

This should be enough to figure out which mods come from BN and which - from other sources while not overloading the player with information.

C.R.I.T. should be red

I implemented this in my current CRIT Renewal pr #2287

Really Dark Skies will be using a variety of colors, depending on which 'major revision' of the mod is being used. Last color was light green, current color is light blue.
