Bringing back mission priorities.

So I had an idea to bring back mission priorities but in a completely different manner than back in pre 1.19.

Here's the situation that brought up this thought :-

4 BDGE is attacking a town and using missions to split the players into 4 teams. Second we also have a mission up in our defensive AO to defend an FB we recently brought up.

We want the bulk of our players joining the 4 offensive missions, our defensive AO is pretty quite but we want a few people there so the Axis don't get an easy FB takedown.

This is where mission priorities and some visual cues in the UI come in.
A mission creator can assign a priority to a mission, maybes its 1, 2 etc like before or offensive/defensive/resup or something like that.Once the mission has been posted it will be highlighted in a different colour in the brigade HQ screen depending on its priority. For example P1 missions are red while P2's are a light blue.

Most importantly rank gain/score is NOT affected by the mission priority, it is simply a means to assigning priorities for people's attention within the brigade.

Thoughts?
