Support color module variables [#1595880]

The domain variable module can already be used to have domain-specific theme settings. In order to fully replace the domain_theme module, we would have to also handle settings from the core color module:

color_[theme]_palette
color_[theme]_stylesheets
color_[theme]_logo
color_[theme]_files
color_[theme]_screenshot

These cannot unfortunately not be handled the same way as other realm variables, because we need color_scheme_form_submit() to create colorized stylesheets and image files... which means we cannot circumvent it.

The solution employed by the Domain Theme module is to hook into the form building and submission process...

Form building (see domain_theme_form_alter()):

Store existing color module values in $form[domain_color_defaults]
Add custom submit handlers domain_theme_color_submit() and domain_theme_settings_submit() in order below.

Form submission:

domain_theme_color_submit(): If the theme is saved as 'default', we have to be sure not to delete existing color directories.
color_scheme_form_submit(): Saves color palette, creates colorized stylesheets and images.
domain_theme_settings_submit():
- Make sure default variables contain correct values (i.e. save 'domain_color_defaults' back to variable table)
- Save domain specific color values in domain_theme table.

Should not be too difficult to replicate for domain variable; could possibly also go directly into variable module (or new "color variables" module?).

Postponed for now. Patches are welcome :-)
