Team-comtress-2: Display Strange / Stat Clock Kill Count on HUD (like CS:GO)

[AzureAzel]

Description

Introduce a hud option that displays the number of kills on the strange quality weapon that you're currently holding. CS:GO already has this feature implemented when using StatTrak weapons, which makes the kill count show near your ammo. It'd be nice to port it over, if possible.

We could definitely make this available in code, but an actual UI implementation would be out-of-scope, at least for now.

I assume by this you mean implement it in VGUI but leave HUD devs to put it directly into the UI? or just making something like a convar?

The former. We don't touch game assets, including HUD files, so we couldn't actually implement it in the in-game HUD, but we could expose variables that HUD devs could use in labels, a la killstreaks. If this project got picked up by Valve, then obviously we could go ahead and implement it in the default HUD as well, but that second part is currently out-of-scope.
