add support for ANSI "bright" colors
This adds support for the ANSI x3.64 "bright" colors in the basic sixteen
color palette. This is especially useful when trying to use the base colors
as a background color. The "bright" variants tend to be more useful as
background colors compared to the non-bright variants.
This also fixes a bug in so far as palette number 7 is actually grey and
not white whereas palette number 15 is white. At least on the terminal
emulators on which I've tested this change (Ubuntu xterm & uxterm, Mac
OS X Terminal & iTerm2).
Resolves issue #1464.
