Add a source file and a header file, which implement the color
scheme used by the statistics module.
Besides a few color constants, the centerpiece is a
function that returns the color representing a bin and
an appropriate label color. It picks a roughly equi-distant
set of colors out of an already balanced set of 50 candidate
colors. And it also picks white as text color when adding a
label to a segment with a dark color.
The color list was created using a tool by Gregor Aisch that
is available on GitHub as https://github.com/gka/palettes to
create multi-hued, multi-stop color scales that are safe for
color blind people.
