[Accessibility] Give player an option to choose which kits teams use

[arkadye]

In some situations the match engine will choose kits that do not contrast well.

Examples in FM22 are Manchester City v Leicester City (where Leicester will play in their mint kit, that's technically green but contrasts very poorly with sky blue) or Peterborough vs Brighton & Hove Albion (where blue with white shorts and trip is considered not to contrast with a white top with blue stripes - so both teams play in blue-and-white.)

This will be worse for players with some sorts of colour-blindness. Given the variation in colour blindness in real life, and the somewhat subjective nature of whether kits clash, and the difficulty in programmatically detecting a kit clash I would suggest that the player has an option to override the game's decisions on kit clashes.

I am aware this is not realistic. However, the benefit to playability would - in my opinion - outweigh this. Especially for colour-blind players.

The way this would work would be that, in the match engine, the player could open the options menu and find a button to manually choose which kits teams play in from the kits available to that team. So, for example, I could spot that Leicester's mint away kit clashes with Man City's sky blue and switch to the pink-and-onyx kit instead.
