'Edit GVAR' screen should display FM numbers as well as names

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Users of my glider templates are having issues with the GVAR menus. These are due to an inconsistency between the main grid and the edit menu:

The main grid displays flight modes by their number only, no mention of FM names:

However, in the Edit menu, the FM names are displayed, but not the flight mode numbers.
Also, there's no visual separation between the header block and the first FM line.

This is really confusing for first time users.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the GV edit screen, all flight modes should prefixed by the number FMn: for example:

FM0:Thermal
FM1:---
FM2:---
FM3:Cruise

I've only looked at this for the colour LCD screens, but I think the same should apply to the mono screen radios. If there's a choice of displaying the FM name or the number, IMO the number is more important, to make it consistent with the grid view.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It says GV4=FM0 in the page header... does that correctly update when you change flight modes? I don't disagree though, index should be shown for consistency as well as name (since now have space to show it).

Yes, the top line updates correctly when the active flight mode is changed.

I don't disagree though, index should be shown for
consistency as well as name (since now have space to show it).

It would be great if the index could be included :-) IMO consistency, even in small details, can make all the difference for those using EdgeTX for the first time.
