Add highlight option for Labels

[timoschwarzer]

This commit adds a new highlight option to Label to provide simple word highlighting as seen in many games.
To highlight a word, just put & in front of it. The highlight color can be selected
and this feature is disabled by default for backwards compability. (So you can enable it by changing the Label's highlight_enabled property)

(This time without unrelated commits 😅)

Test project:

Isn't just easier to use a RichTexLabel or am I missing something?

[timoschwarzer]

I tried a RichTextLabel, but I found these two issues:

• Distance Field font is being rendered blurry
• I can't H and V Align the t.

And I think this is a basic feature for which a RichTextLabel would be overkill.

Distance Field font is being rendered blurry

This sounds like a bug which deserve its own issue.

I can't H and V Align the t.

You can H-align with BBCode. V-align is not possible, but maybe it can be implemented. Also you can work around that with containers.

My concern is that adding "just a simple feature" every time will eventually make it too complex.

Yes, the DF blur is definitely an own issue, I just hadn't the time to submit it.

I just implemented this, because I needed it for my game.
This PR doesn't have to be merged, just if it's useful. ;-)

👍
And an option to v-align, if possible

[akien-mga]

Do we have an issue about fixing RichTextLabel? If so this PR could be closed, as it won't be merged I suppose.

[timoschwarzer]

I'll create one.
