Add buttons for selecting the color mode (RGBA, HSVA, HSLA) in color picker popups in menu and editor. Previously, the color picker popups always showed the color components in HSVA. Now the mode can be switched so the components are shown in either RGBA or HSLA. The hex color code is always RGBA, same as before.
In the editor, the RGBA mode is used per default, to prevent any loss of information due to color conversions, as the map format stores RGBA values. In the menus, the HSVA mode is the default, same as before, although the config actually stores HSLA values.
The HSVA color picker controls (1D slider for hue, 2D picker for saturation and value) are still shown for all modes.
As many color conversions as possible are avoided by only converting between color formats when necessary. Switching between color modes should not change the selected color. Changing the RGBA hex value in the editor will set the exact value also when another color mode is selected. However, changing the color with the other controls in HSVA/HSLA mode will cause a conversion and possible loss of information. The conversion directly from RGBA to HSVA and vice versa is also explicitly avoided, as this internally converts to HSLA first, which is done separately already.
Closes #7409.
