Use the keyboardFocusColor, possibly transparent of course, for drawing keyboard-focus-highlighting in menus (rather than the former hard-coded green)"

> Additions, fixes, and adjustments, mostly to color-related categories, in Viewers:
> * The items in 'color & border' are arranged in a more logical order -- color, border, drop-shadow.
> * An item is added for setting the gradient color, and the action of the #color slot is modified so that changing it does not clobber the second color if gradient fill is in effect.
> * The 'observation' methods (e.g. colorUnder) are moved to their own category.  They serve very different needs, at very different times, than the other items in the color & border category.
> * The wordings of some of items (e.g. erstwhile 'sticky') are changed to conform to new wordings now found in the halo menus."
