Revisit multi view in user mode

Currently, if you select multiple auras with custom options, and then enter User Mode, then they will be rendered separately, with headers separating them. I chose this at the time because I though that it was the clearest option at the time.

However, the details in how options are merged in Author Mode is slightly different now, and I have received multiple reports that the current method isn't very user friendly in very large cases.

Should we treat User Mode the same way as we do Author Mode, and blue the names of options which conflict with themselves? Should we do nothing? Is there a super genius idea that somebody has and I haven't yet heard of it?

After discussion in discord, it was decided to not treat custom options specially. Authors can design User Mode so that it makes sense for their groups, and users who multi-select auras from disparate groups and get nonsensical User Mode renderings have only themselves to blame :)

So, #1089 rewrites the rendering of custom options so that options in User Mode are merged together, like in much of the rest of the Addon.
