Overwatch Console TGUI Refactor

[TheGamerdk]

About the pull request

This redoes the whole console in TGUI.

Adds 2 new features:

Saving coordinates. You can now save up to 3 sets of coordinates, and attach comments. For easy dialling of supply drops and OBs
Multicam, observe up to 4 marines using the console. The window is smaller, and so is the detail.
This means you can overwatch up to 5 people (1 fullscreen, 4 multicam)

TODO:

• Investigate multicam shit
• Sort by role

Explain why it's good for the game

HTML ugly. TGUI Pretty.
Also gives a few neat CIC buffs

See screenshots below.

When a non SL is assigned as aSL they are shown as dead

There's one feature that's been lost in the rework: ability toggle hide shipside or groundside marines. Was pretty useful to quickly gauge squad state.

Also, I feel like this UI is not as ergonomic as the old one, since it takes way more screen space now, but that's something I can get used to, I guess.

Another minor thing that I don't like is that how helmetless marine names get marked red. This color coding keeps confusing me that they're dead, since the same color used for the death state too.

P.S. Sorry for typing it here, but there seems to be no other feedback thread.

Constructive and thought out feedback is not going to be thrown out. This is good, don't make a habit out of it though shakes cane

In other news, I think multicam is awesome. Sadly, I don't think it's going to be able to work due to performance issues. Switching between overwatch consoles quickly is part of CIC gameplay and the load time is a stutter for some and a gnarly hang for seconds for others.

Will play with it some more just it's really important to be able to switch between cams rapidly and efficiently while also moving between consoles/squads. This UI must, at least, come close to the ease of use as the current UI.

If anyone wants to pick this up:

Make the squad list sorted by role (SL->FTL->Spec->SG -> Medic/Engi -> Marine
