Claim/Property overlay: Make white border optional #1699

From the 0.9.7.5 changelog:

Fixed: The claim highlights did not display white borders between deeds anymore.

Version 0.9.7.4 had the "bug" that claims/properties in the Property overlay and when holding a Land Claim Stake did not show white borders between deeds. Initially I thought this was a feature and I really liked it. Sometimes I like to enable this overlay intentionally, to see all the buildings in a different light: Tinted by their claim color. In my view the missing white line was a feature, though it can be useful in some situations. The overlay sometimes makes buildings more interesting, especially for the occasional screenshots or when you've seen the building a thousand times. When using the overlay that way the white border is more annoying than helpful.

Hence here is my suggestion: Add a setting (to the map view or to General/Graphics or perhaps an additional tab in the escape menu), to re-enable this "bug". To disable the white claim border line or change it's width to anything between 0 and what it is now.

Imagine being able (although only on a 5x5 plot area) to change the tint of a building slightly (unfortunately we can't change the transparency of the overlay either).
