Allow the 'transparent' color (and others) to be used in tab_options(table_background_color == <color>) (supersedes previous PR) #242

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.

This PR is a more focused version of an earlier version: https://github.com/posit-dev/great-tables/pull/232

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