Allow configuring thresholds for colors on elapsed time for estimated time about pympress HOT 2 OPEN

This seems like a reasonable request :)

Currently, the times are hard-coded:

So:

• 5 minutes before the end, start fading from default to green ("reached" color)
• 0 remaining, blink for 5 seconds
• start fading to orange ("info" color) over 2.5 minutes
• then fade to red ("warn" color) over 2.5 minutes
• After that remain solid red

I haven't always been convinced by the whole fading thing myself, nor by the necessity of blinking.

How about being able to specify start-end time of styles/fading? Something like:

green = -2:00 to 0 # expressed in time relative to the expected end
orange = 0 to 120 # can use seconds too
red = 2:00 # this is how you should specify a color starting at a time without fading
blink = -10 to 10 # blink 20s around target time
blink = # Alternately, leave an entry empty to disable

To be fair I think the remaining time convention is confusing too. "-2" for "2 before the end" seems like a more sensible convention, i.e.time relative to the end (in the same direction).

We could also allow values like "5%" that will adapt better to varying durations.
