Refactored the code to use default "common" dyes

rather than directly from flowers.

This mod now depends on "default" and "dye" from the Minetest common
sub-game.  Since the default dye mod uses default flowers, this mod no
longer checks for what version of flowers you're using, or even depends
on it.

Bottle-based textures have been replaced with piles of dye powder, based
on the default red dye texture.

All dyes are obtained by crafting, not cooking, for consistency with the
default dye mod.

The somewhat-complicated method using separate "pigment" powders, glass
bottles and "liquid dye base" has been done away with.  Now it's just
dry dye powders, as with the default dye mod.

Also, got rid of the whole paint scheme, in favor of dry powders.

All old dyes, paints, and Unified Dyes pigment powders have been aliased
back to the standard dye powders.

 2012-07-26: Added a "version" check for the flowers dependency: If the 
-flowers mod defines "flowers:flower_geranium" (as is the case with my update
-of 2012-08-01), then those will be used to get blue pigment powder, and violas
-will produce violet powder, both of which can be directly used to create their
-respective liquid dye colors.  If it is not defined (e.g. the user has an 
-older version of the flowers mod), then violas produce blue dye powder.  Violet
-dye can still be formed by mixing blue and magenta or blue and red dyes, as
-before.
