Define app color resources via a new "AppColors" class instead of generating from an XML by flutter_gen #246

Why

According to #231, we added a setup to define app color resources via an XML file and generate it by flutter_gen. After discussing internally, the team agreed to improve by using a new AppColors class instead. This helps us to:

Reduce development effort to not wait for generated code before using a newly added color in an XML file.
While Android developers are familiar with XML resource files, iOS developers are not. Defining colors directly in Dart could eliminate the gap.

To achieve this update:

Define a new AppColors class in lib/resources, e.g., https://github.com/hungps/flutter_pokedex/blob/master/lib/configs/colors.dart
Remove the flutter_gen config for color generating from the XML file.
