[Ohrrpgce] SVN: teeemcee/9796 Add findrgb(), as using UI cols in Custom is madness. Change mapedit pos

[Ralph Versteegen]

I think it's a lot easier to just use the nearcolor() index_hint argument,
as I mentioned. If the 'hint' color in the master palette has the RGB we're
looking for, then it gets used instead of doing a search, so the color
indices will be preserved.
We could even include RGB triples for slices which use a UI color, just in
case someone wants  them someday - the UI colors between games might be
quite different.
