Spec File Support

• Tilesets can now specify a set of colors that will be replaced by the player color when drawing units and cities. This is enabled by setting replaced_hue to the hue of the colors to be replaced. Typically you'll draw some pixels in a shade of magenta, and set replaced_hue = 300 in the tileset. #429 #1095 #1101
