Godot: Add color highlighting in Script editor

[Azza292]

An option to enable HEX color highlighting to the script editor.

This might be a helpful feature in a future release.

I might give this a go for my first contribution if someone could point me in the right direction. 😀

See #14731.

@girng Something like this wouldn't be appropriate for Godot-Next since it involves changes to the functionality of an existing editor tool, in this case, the ScriptEditor. It wouldn't require changes to core, but it will require changes to scene or editor. Depends on whether the TextEdit.add_color_region can accommodate it. If it does work out of the box, then it is just an editor change. If it doesn't work, then the necessary feature will need to be added to TextEdit in the scene directory before you then use it to add the feature in the editor directory.

Feature and improvement proposals for the Godot Engine are now being discussed and reviewed in a dedicated Godot Improvement Proposals (GIP) (godotengine/godot-proposals) issue tracker. The GIP tracker has a detailed issue template designed so that proposals include all the relevant information to start a productive discussion and help the community assess the validity of the proposal for the engine.

The main (godotengine/godot) tracker is now solely dedicated to bug reports and Pull Requests, enabling contributors to have a better focus on bug fixing work. Therefore, we are now closing all older feature proposals on the main issue tracker.

If you are interested in this feature proposal, please open a new proposal on the GIP tracker following the given issue template (after checking that it doesn't exist already). Be sure to reference this closed issue if it includes any relevant discussion (which you are also encouraged to summarize in the new proposal). Thanks in advance!
