Client-side Lua Script to add an UI to connection panels with functionality to keep wires highlighted even when the panel is unselected and UI to show panel IDs.

Changes:[olist] [*]A button at the top left to toggle KeepWireHighlight. If on, the last selected wire of a connection panel will stay highlighted even when going away from the panel, and will stay highlighted until that panel's KeepWireHighlight is turned off, or you select another wire on that panel. [*]All connection panels have its parent item's ID displayed at the top left. [*]All of the panel's wires are labeled with the other end's item's ID [/olist]
