Optional Colonial Nation Founding

Allrite lads!

This mod, based upon the fantastic work carried out by "Stop Hippo Infantcide" (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2153568363), has been updated to fix many of the outstanding bugs from the older variant - including the "dual ownership" bug.

So what does this mod do? Essentially, this mod disables compulsory colonial nation founding upon reaching 5 colonies in the New World and Australasia. Now it offers you a decision based choice to found a colony instead, giving the player the option to rule the region more directly or relinquish control over to a colonial administration. By contrast, AI countries will always found a colonial nation, letting the player have their cake and eat it (if they so wish).

NOTE: Upon creation the country will be called C00/01/02 etc. - this is normal (and is needed for this mod to work); after a few moments a script will fire to rename the nation properly (e.g. Polish Colombia/Irish Canada/Hispaniola etc.). The whole process is demonstrated by the pictures above.

This mod is compatible with BT - Beyond Typus. Colonial nations in the expanded colonial regions in BT will also be optional (Newfoundland, Acadia, Polynesia etc.).

Tested on 1.36. Any bugs please give me a shout!
