Exclude colors not saved in pictures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When drawing for a restricted platform (like Amstrad CPC with only 27 colors), 
GrafX2 keeps adding safety colors for the menu when loading the picture.
These then get used by effects like smooth, which is annoying. As there are 
free entries in the palette its ok to have the safe colors, but they should be 
excluded from use and 'locked' in some way. This should be save in the picture 
so one don't have to reset the setting each time. Simplest way is to not write 
these colors to the file, I think, and noticing when loading a 251-color file.

You can exclude colors from being selected by blur, translucency etc. by 
tagging them in the secondary palette menu (Right-click "Pal", "Exclude colors")
This list is part of global config (.cfg).

Ah, I couldn't remember where this setting was :)

However, saving/loading it in the picture(removing these colors from the 
palette completely on save / tagging them off on load) would be nice.

When switching to SDL2, we can remove this "safety color" trick completely so 
the menu colors are not picked from the palette anymore. So there is no need 
for this, now.
