[ENH] Allow binding to a LAB "Page" for Actionbar Overrides - (ElvUI/BT4/ConsolePort)

🟢 How does GSE currently work
One fo the limitations of GSE's Actionbar Overrides currently is that mods like ElvUI, Bartender4 and ConsolePort use LibActionButton as a proxy to the actionbar buttons. These mods use a concept of "paging" to determine which state the button is in. Currently GSE caters to the default state of the button but doesn't cater to different pages.
🟢 What would this Change
Allowing to bind to the page would allow you to bind into stance bars like Stealth and different Druid forms like Bear / Cat etc.
It would require changing the binding page to allow for LAB States, referred to in user land as "Pages".
🟢 Files needing to change
- GSE\API\Events.lua: need to accommodate the different states
- GSE_GUI\KeyBinding.lua: need to present the new possible states.
🟢 Design Considerations
This would require that people know the value of the State of the button. While this is possible with a /run print(BT4Button2:GetAttribute("State")) command it does increase the things a user has to "know". From this example BT4Button2 was the name of the button.
A lot of progress. States are now supported:
This ConsolePort bind is bound to the Shift-CPB_PAD2 bind.
This means druid/rogue paging with ElvUI and Bartender4 can now be accomplished
For ConsolePort this is configured via
Also found that console port doesn't use the state attribute
