Make forming Colonial Nations optional

[CBangs]

I only played one game as a colonizer since Colonial Nations started ... I just don't see the point in busting my butt to colonize only to let AI run it. I'd rather have to manage a whole empire than to lose it as a penalty for building it in the first place.

And I understand that by keeping colony groups small CN's won't form, but that's kind of self-defeating.

Mods already exist for this purpose, since the province count threshold is exposed in defines.lua and of course the map data that defines the Colonial Regions can be edited.
