replace systemChat with some nice looking message system

[ole1986]

The idea is to get rid of the systemChat output but also replace it with a flexible info system.

It should inform the admin user about the action being made.

BUT ALSO the ability to info clients who do NOT have the ATK installed. So, it implementationn might take place in mission file?

I am thinking something similar to the Exile Toast messages, but without being dependent on th ExileMod

An example on how to use the AAN by hiding all unnecessary icons, etc.. Still this would be placed into a file located in mission pbo (because all need it):

[parseText "<t size='1.5'>Admin Toolkit Headline</t><br/><t>Some more extra text information</t>", parseText ""] spawn BIS_fnc_AAN;
/* Hide the AAN after X seconds */
[] spawn { sleep 5; (uinamespace getvariable "BIS_AAN") closedisplay 1 };
/* immediately hide the icons, but keep the red bar plus clock */
[] spawn { sleep 0.001;  _all = (allControls (uinamespace getvariable "BIS_AAN")); (_all select 2) ctrlShow false; (_all select 3) ctrlShow false; (_all select 0) ctrlShow false; }

As we can not go without adding a function into missionFile (allowing "normal" players) to receive the message response being send from server, I prefer to use the current setup
