[0.17] Research queue improvements

[Gandamir]

Once an item is selected for research, it should not be in the to be researched list, or at least get a different color. As it is, I often try to add something to the research queue that is already in it.

There might be other solutions to this as well.

Reordering the queue would also be a useful feature.

1. A visual indicator in the list of technologies for every tech that's currently in the queue.
2. Always allow tech to be added to the queue and automatically add all prereqs before it (only if the skill+prereqs would fit in the queue obviously, so adding the rocket silo straight away will never work).

I think just displaying an indicator of the Queue position over the research icon would be enough.
Something like an hourglass icon with the position number next to it.

[Koub] Merged both topics with similar suggestions.

+1 but we would also need the ability to reorder the queue (there's another topic about that) in case it added two things that could be done in either order and we want to choose the opposite order to what was automatically added.
