rB6ed6741ee359: Point users to new location of "Show Group Colors" option

Summary

In rBad85256e7108 the "Show Group Colors" option was changed from a
per-editor option to a user preference. Since so many people wanted to
turn this option off, this makes sense. However, this move caused some
confusion because the option was just gone from the menu.

This commit adds a dummy menu item. It's disabled, and the tooltip
explains that the option can now be found in Preferences.

As discussed in the chat, I think such a hint is fine, although I'd prefer it to use the "disabled hint" for tooltips. But we noticed this isn't supported in BPY, so I proposed D9738: UI/BPY: Allow Python operator polls to set the disabled hint.
But generally, this seems acceptable as long as the Animation module doesn't forget to remove it after the release.
