client_colour

Client Colour Priority System By RemieRichards (then refactored by another contributor) A System that gives finer control over which client.colour value to display on screen so that the "highest priority" one is always displayed as opposed to the default of "whichever was set last is displayed".

Refactored to allow multiple overlapping client colours (e.g. wearing blue glasses under a yellow visor, even though the result is a little unsatured.) As well as some support for animated colour transitions.

Define subtypes of this datum

Vars
colour	Any client.color-valid value
fade_in	IF non-zero, 'animate_client_colour(fade_in)' will be called instead of 'update_client_colour' when added.
fade_out	Same as above, but on removal.
override	Will this client_colour prevent ones of lower priority from being applied?
owner	The mob that owns this client_colour.
priority	We prioritize colours with higher priority (lower numbers), so they don't get overriden by less important ones: eg: "Bloody screen" > "goggles colour" as the former is much more important
Procs
update_colour	Sets a new colour, then updates the owner's screen colour.
