Original Body

About the PR

Adds a toggle in the accessibility menu that lets 'progress bars' (doafters, medhud) toggle between a standard rainbow palette and the colorblind-friendly Viridis palette.

also makes the medhud bar unshaded to match the icon and to improve readability.

Why / Balance

Medical huds used a (frankly) bastardized version of Viridis without proper smoothing. Doafters used the standard rainbow palette but with actual smoothing. I personally don't really like the medhud colors, but i figured if i wanted to get rid of them it was best to unify and make it an option broadly so that people who needed it could get more use out of it.

Technical details

Makes a new static method in ProgressColorSystem that handles the CVAR. also adds a new checkbox to MiscTab.xaml
