The following patch adds color support for zone and ports

color_cli()
Is the cli function to parse the options submitted by a user.

color_set()
Write a given color into the color config file of a zone or port.

color_read()
Read a color out of color config file of a zone or port.
If this is unsuccessful we use white.

color_format_filename()
Formats the color config file name.

color_hex_is_valid()
Check if a color hex is valid.

color_hex2rgb()
Converts a color hex into rgb values.

_find_nearest_rgb_value()
Find the nearest value to an rgb value out of:
0; 95; 135; 175; 215; 255;

color_rgb2shell()
Converts a rgb value triple into an xterm color code.

_set_color()
Set the shell color which unfourtunately does not work for putty.

shell_set_color()
Function to set the back and foreground color at once.

shell_reset_color()
Reset the shell color.
