Added a new set of colors: "light" (brightness turned up to 150% over the

full/base colors - no low-saturation versions here).  Re-generated all of the
dyes using my gentextures.sh script, to keep them consistent.  Re-added the
gentextures script to this mod, it's too useful not to include it.

+To obtain a dark (33% relative to the 'full' version) version of a given color,
+use two portions of black dye along with the base color, which yields three
+portions of the final color.
 
 To obtain a medium-brightness (66%) version of a given color, mix the desired 
 base color from the list above with one portion of black dye (for example, 
 medium lime = lime + black).  All such mixtures yield two portions of the final 
 color.
