Color roles, coming this Monday to kdelibs?

[Matthew Woehlke]

As per the usability recommendation (1) and the original thread (2), the 
attached patch adds color roles to KDE. There are still things to do, 
like find things this breaks (I am guessing color schemes), find places 
that need to use it (anyone using hard-coded colors has buggy code 
according to u7y/a11y), and of course add something to configure them 
:-), but these are not API changes (probably not even BIC).

There are probably lots of users of most of the deprecated functions and 
that is OK, they can keep using them in KDE4 :-). We /might/ want to 
kill off KGS::calculateAlternateBackgroundColor if its replacements are 
ready for KDE4.0 but that is for next week (there are only two users 
shown by LXR, one of the three not-KGS hits is only a comment).

According to aseigo (3) it is OK to change where the colors are stored.

Also, if anyone has better suggestions for the implementation (like, a 
way to avoid macros w/o dozens more lines of code), please share :-).
