Adds a "Checkerboard rows" sub-option under the prettier timestamps setting: every other message row gets a configurable background color, which makes rows easier to tell apart in busy chat.
Implementation is small on purpose: when enabled, the timestamp table gets ImGuiTableFlags.RowBg and the two row colors are pushed around it (TableRowBg transparent, TableRowBgAlt = the configured color). One stripe per message, so wrapped multi-line messages stay on a single stripe.
Default alternate row background is white at ~4%.
Settings UI mirrors the existing "More compact modern layout" sub-option, English strings added to the resx. No config migration needed.
