Highlights the first occurence of a given hotkey inside whichString (case insensitive) with color string color. If hotkey isn't found inside the string then the hotkey is appended and colored inside parenthesis at the end of the string.

If color is null then the default yellow color is applied ("ffffcc00")

HilightHotkey("Armageddon", 'a', "ffaabbcc") = "|cffaabbccA|rrmageddon"
HilightHotkey("Death Coil", 'u', "ff666666") = "Death Coil (|cff666666U|r)"
HilightHotkey("JASS", 's', null) = "JA|cffffcc00S|rS"

Requires: AsciiIntegerToChar
