Add websafe departmental colours, ported from Whitehall #262

  1. Port websafe departmental colours from Whitehall 

    We will need to use these colours and styles in government-frontend,
whitehall and static.

We use `websafe` to mean strong enough contrast against white to be
used for copy and meet the AAA (large text) and AA (smaller copy) WCAG
guidelines.

* Port the brand colour mixin which can be used to generate styles for
each organisation

  2. Split colours into two files 

    * Separate palette and organisations
* Keep existing behaviour of `_colour.scss` by importing the two files
* Import order matters as organisations uses `link-color` which is
defined in palette.

  3. Remove brand colour mixin, include example 

    * Remove the `organisation-brand-colour` mixin which creates an
anti-pattern of needing to nest containers to achieve the desired affect
* Instead include a simpler example of how the list can be used.
