[Feature request] Individual sticker custom stickering
Goal
The ability to target individual stickers and apply a custom color would greatly benefit representations of methods and steps.
Example 1: Some speed methods are based on getting edges and corners into an oriented state, such as Polaris. The way I set it up was complicated, taking into consideration the initial x2 to change the orientation, applying turns at the beginning, and using a form of the experimental stickering. This would be much simpler if individual stickers could be target and set to any color.

Example 2: In methods that start by placing all corners in an <U, R> permutable state, such as CEOR, there needs to be a way to apply a single color to corners.

Example 3: Some methods contain a step that involves a combination of state changes. An example is RouxFOP or ZBRoux, where after F2B the user solves the DF+DB edges + F and B centers + orients the LL edges. Representing this step is currently difficult.

Possible solution
- Maybe a new parameter like experimentalStickeringMaskOrbits could be added like "EDGES:------------------------,CORNERS:------------------------,CENTERS:------"
- Add in a color option when targeting an individual sticker within the above sequence. Users may want more than just white, yellow, blue, green, red, orange, light grey, dark grey, and other simple ones.
The way that VisualCube and AnimCubeJS handle this is a long sequence of 54 letters, and numerous color letters to choose from.
