Zero-K Added shieldball healthbars widget

I've put "enabled by default" but:

I haven't done extensive performance checking, but a couple of hundred shields didn't cause an FPS drop I could detect.
Like any means of displaying information, it is putting stuff in the UI which could get in the way of seeing other important things and it's visually slightly noisy. If merged enabled it should probably have a UI setting to turn it off again, but I'm not going to work on that unless requested (energy levels permitting).

I think I will have to run this locally for a bit.

The opacity, size and position of the healthbars are probably things to tweak. Also how much they should change size by zoom level.

@GoogleFrog : I've been using this for the last couple of months and it's been extremely useful.

Any progress on your evaluation?

I was stuck arguing on the internet about licenses for a while, and was quite busy before that, but should now have time to run it.

It looks like the visual is hidden until I do /luaui reload, so I have barely seen it.

This picture doesn't make any sense.

I had apparently made a very important update I forgot to push which actually refreshes the list of shielded units. This explains both your observations.

Now pushed. 🤦
