Request fro more keyword categories about npp-papyrus

[dizietsma]

Thanks for the explanation and your raising it on the NP++ issues:)
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the plugin, especially the auto-detection of SkyrimSE or F4 scripts.

@dizietsma Yes, it requires lexer to recognize these configured keywords and assign "states" to them, which map to configured word styles in the XML. In theory, it seems this can be simply done by adding new keywords categories in the config and let lexer read and parse them. However, unfortunately it is not that simple. For some reason NPP can only support 9 word lists, i.e. instre1, instre2, type1 to 7. In this plugin, 8 of them are already defined so at most one can be used for user defined keywords, but I want to reserve it for potential future use.

I am not sure why NPP has such a limit. From its code comments it seems there is a defined constant that limits the # of keyword lists, and that constant used to be 8 (the numbering is zero based, thus giving 9). However, it was increased to 30 in 2012 but somehow the code is still hardcoded to only support 9 lists.
