Less Border Gore - Claim Colonial States

Updated for 1.9

This is a mod meant to reduce border gore in colonies by adding a Journal Entry which allows countries to claim any states they own that are under colonization, thus preventing anyone else from founding a new colony there.

The Journal Entry is unlocked by enabling the Colonial Affairs institution, and allows you to claim any state that A. Is partially owned by you, and B. Is under colonization (by you or another country). This prevents the creation of new split states, but doesn't cut any country off from colonizing a state they own that's split at the start of the game.

This JE is available to both players and the AI, who is programmed to always take the decision at the first available opportunity. It requires a new game to work - the mod won't break anything if you enable it, the JE just kinda won't show up.

I didn't override any vanilla files, and the JE only checks for whether you have the Colonial Affairs institution, so it should be compatible with pretty much any mod, including total conversion mods. Let me know if it isn't and I'll try to fix it.
