Color templates

[OzoneH3]

Added color template support. Templates are located in data/raw/color_templates/*.json.
Removed No Bright Option and colors. Added a No Bright template.

Custom colors are now displayed with their color name.

Brilliant! This will be awesome :) Now I just wish we had more colors to work with, but I guess that's a limitation with the engine?

@tivec: Not engine per se, terminal on some OSes.

[DavidKeaton]

@Zireael07 correct. The highest a standard terminal running ncurses can grab is 256 color combos.

Hmm. Just for safety's sake, how will this affect bright-background-incompatible consoles--will they be able to access the menu and enable the template (and then later modify it, in the event that the user happens to need/want modified colors)?

The incompatibility is that some terminal emulators understand the bright
background flag as bold, to the best of my knowledge. That won't prevent
anyone from accessing the options menu.

OK, that's good to know. I'm likely to have to run today but hope to get the net up in Pittsburgh, so hopefully will be able to merge again there tonight.

(Otherwise, more equine-mutcat work, so it's not all bad.)
