Grid Name append to Block name

Option to append a grid name (abbreviated) to the front of block names, so you can tell which grid they're attached to.

Example: Lets say you could have 2 batteries, one on a station, one on a ship. If Station was named "STATION" and ship was named "SHIP" (I know, original). If you connect the two, it can be hard to tell which grid they are on, especially either battery is on a subgrid.

I propose that in the control panel, they look like this:

[STAT] Battery

[SHIP] Battery

Currently I do this Manually, but if I forget, it takes a while to figure out which is which

Also, since groups are automatically created for subgrids, it would be nice to have subgrid groups nestable. that way you can tell the order of what connects to what.

No need to change the block name, just add a column with grid name before the block name. It might be an option to toggle on and off. Also, blocks from different grids can be coloured differently. Blocks from the grid you have opened the console might be grey. Other grids can be coloured using a standard coloured pallet. For example, the nearest one is blue, then green, then red, then yellow and so on. There can also be a dropdown menu on top where you can see all the grid names and a checkbox to show/hide their blocks in the terminal, and to show/hide all but the "main".
