Introducing the new eyestrain block feature

Protect your eyes from walking flashbangs! Now, you can now mark your chickens as eye-straining. You can also set how eyestrain-marked chickens appear (for you) in your settings or with the eye button in the quick menu: desaturated or desaturated + blurred. They will appear that way in both list views and profile views. Note that they will not appear filtered in small icon form (e.g. on the coop status page).

I am happy to hear opinions and feedback on how this can be improved, with the usual caveat that I'm really busy lately and may take time to get around to any changes!

the blur almost makes me feel nauseous, maybe if it was just a bit more desaturated and less blur? great idea though!!
