Allow the 'transparent' color (and others) to be used in `tab_options(table_background_color == <color>)` #232

This PR makes it possible for a GT table to have a transparent background by way of using the "transparent" color keyword. Previously, there would be an error because color values in _font_color() are routed through a webcolors function that only accepts CSS color names.

Fixes: https://github.com/posit-dev/great-tables/issues/230

I don't understand why this PR also refactors away the data_color submodule, and am having trouble finding a summary of the big changes made in this PR. Can you provide a quick description of what big things you did in this PR and your thinking behind each one?
