a79bac428b LibGUI+LibDraw: Add "Palette" concept for scoped color theming
GApplication now has a palette. This palette contains all the system
theme colors by default, and is inherited by a new top-level GWidget.
New child widgets inherit their parents palette.

It is possible to override the GApplication palette, and the palette
of any GWidget.

The Palette object contains a bunch of colors, each corresponding to
a ColorRole. Each role has a convenience getter as well.

Each GWidget now has a background_role() and foreground_role(), which
are then looked up in their current palette when painting. This means
that you no longer alter the background color of a widget by setting
it directly, rather you alter either its background role, or the
widget's palette.

411058b2a3 WindowServer+LibGUI: Implement basic color theming
Color themes are loaded from .ini files in /res/themes/
The theme can be switched from the "Themes" section in the system menu.

The basic mechanism is that WindowServer broadcasts a SharedBuffer with
all of the color values of the current theme. Clients receive this with
the response to their initial WindowServer::Greet handshake.

When the theme is changed, WindowServer tells everyone by sending out
an UpdateSystemTheme message with a new SharedBuffer to use.

This does feel somewhat bloated somehow, but I'm sure we can iterate on
it over time and improve things.

To get one of the theme colors, use the Color(SystemColor) constructor:

    painter.fill_rect(rect, SystemColor::HoverHighlight);

Some things don't work 100% right without a reboot. Specifically, when
constructing a GWidget, it will set its own background and foreground
colors based on the current SystemColor::Window and SystemColor::Text.
The widget is then stuck with these values, and they don't update on
system theme change, only on app restart.

All in all though, this is pretty cool. Merry Christmas! :^)

1c0669f010 LibDraw: Introduce (formerly known as SharedGraphics.)
Instead of LibGUI and WindowServer building their own copies of the drawing
and graphics code, let's it in a separate LibDraw library.

This avoids building the code twice, and will encourage better separation
of concerns. :^)

04b9dc2d30 Libraries: Create top level directory for libraries.
Things were getting a little crowded in the project root, so this patch
moves the Lib*/ directories into Libraries/.
