feat(addon): kind icons tell projects and groups apart in the Target list - v1.0.11

Operator report: with campaigns and groups sharing one flat dropdown
the kinds were indistinguishable. Enum colors are not a thing Blender
can do, but per-item icons are - and they render both in the open menu
and on the collapsed control. Projects carry RENDER_ANIMATION, groups
carry COMMUNITY; the placeholder stays icon-less.
