color: add support for 12-bit RGB colors

RGB color parsing currently supports 24-bit values in the form #RRGGBB. As in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS [1]), also allow to specify an RGB color using only three digits with #RGB. In this shortened form, each of the digits is – again, as in CSS – duplicated to convert the color to 24 bits, e.g. #f1b specifies the same color as #ff11bb. In color.h, remove the '0x' prefix in the example to match the actual syntax.
