Write wagon index on the train length visualization

There exist a train length visualization when you hover over the signal, pretty useful when you are doing stuff like stackers and intersections and also very important if you plan to do stuff like passing loops on the bidirectional rails.

You can extend the length in the menu and last wagon is highlighted yellow. Pretty nice

Except, this only really works if all your trains are of same length. For example, my Nauvis network is 2+8 for 10 long trains, but my Fulgora network is 1+4, with some bidirectional 1+4+1 because islands are quite small

So now on my Fulgora visualization looks like this

Not quite helpful


Maybe it would be possible to explicitly write the wagon number like this?

When there is an intersection, simply place the number in the middle of it, or maybe don't bother and just write them over themselves

Under debug settings (F4) there exists a `show-stock-numbers` option that you can enable while in the "always" tab, this should give you want you are asking for. There is also show-stock-positions-reverse feature sitting nearby as it was also often requested. So far it was not approved to become an official feature so it is smuggled through debug settings.
