Enhancement: color state of shared metanodes and components

Description:
The colors used to indicate if components and metanodes are shared and what their current state is, is not very user friendly since it’s all gray-black toned.

What’s does a gray arrow mean?

In this case, the metanode failed to execute due to an issue on a lower level, but this is not reflected at all.

Furthermore, metanodes cannot be unlinked, shared, expanded, etc.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a workflow with shared metanodes and components with an active KNIME Server connection.

Actual results:
Unclear state of metanodes and components.

Expected results:
Easily distinguishable state of nodes and if they are actively linked.
