[GNC] Coloring the Action field

Yeah, I know there's a good likelihood that it isn't supported but I 
figured with all the CSS support maybe I'd get lucky and there was 
support for attribute selection like there is in regular browser CSS. 
But then that's a GTK ask and not necessarily a GnuCash ask.

The general thought if such an attribute selector were supported would 
then be something like:

.gnc-register#registerid .gnc-action-field[value="Payment"] { 
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.5); }


Again, this is more likely a GTK ask since I'm sure it would take actual 
code in the notebook handler routines to have per register action colors.
