REQ: Add a warning if "Board Serial Number" is not 17-digits as Clover warns

Hi @headkaze thank you very much for your great work and great tool.

If you have the spare time, I'd like to propose a small feature to add.

Perhaps, on both System->System and System->Serial tabs, the info displayed for Board Serial Number could check if it's well a 17-digit number as iMessage won't work, so you can put a red line highlighting the need to be fixed just the one I saw recently in Power->Power tab.

I personally had missed that field (and I had copied my BoardSerialNumber to MLB in my Clover config) and only recently saw it thanks to your Clover Boot Log in Logs tab, that showed a "warning" at the very end (about iMessage not working due to the digits missing etc.) Question: Can a tool check also the MLB of the hack?

Once you implement this, and since RED is a warning colour, perhaps consider then changing the colour of the Patch->Connectors to orange, to avoid confusion, i.e. same as you do Disks->Disks orange one.

Warm regards, thanks again, be safe and well.
