LPEX-Allow different colors for each level of Block Nesting

When using the 'Show Block Nesting' feature, allow different colors to be used for the different levels of block nesting.

In the preferences add the ability to specify different colors for each of the available 5 levels of block nesting.


Use Case:

Open a source member. Navigate to the beginning or end of a block of code (or in the middle of a block if RFE78715 is provided). Press Ctrl+Shift+O. Each level of block nesting would then show in a different color.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your request. After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near term, so it is being declined. However, your request does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    Yes, it's bad practice to have deeply nested blocks, and for new code, I don't do that. But there is existing code that has very deep nesting, and it is quite difficult to follow the lines when they are all the same colour.
