Color Palette Versions Save

This release includes the following updates:

• Implemented preferences dialog, where you can set up mouse buttons used to pick colors, mark them, etc, and configure color picker tool.
• Implemented a context menu for color widgets, where you can copy one of text representations of color, paste color, and so on.
• Implemented support for arbitrary palette and color metainformation attributes (such as name, author, copyright, and so on); see wiki page about what attributes are supported by different formats.
• Implemented Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) format (read and write) and Adobe Photoshop Colors (ACO) format (read only).
• Support for writing CREATE palette format (old MyPaint implementation). This format is not supported by other software yet (afaik), but it is extensible and can store arbitrary metainformation.
