Add a visual indication for haste

While haste is getting changed across the board, it would be nice to add visual effects on survivors and killer effected by haste, similar to the blight trail you get when using a refined serum.

I think a lot of the reason that haste can be so problematic is that it's really difficult to tell when someone's affected by it. You can waste so much time chasing a survivor that can loop you twice as long, or go down early against a killer that was just moving slightly faster, all because you couldn't tell they were hasted.

It just doesn't feel good to lose to a mechanic you couldn't tell was in play.

I think it's especially important to do this if we're going to buff a lot of individual haste perks to be viable on their own, since it'll be more difficult to know the activation conditions for haste when there's so many perks that can apply a larger amount of it.
