let the feature colors dictionary take regex keys #115

When we re-BLAST with a non-gene_finder-formatted database, the gene labels can't be used to set colors since they will vary widely (as they are just the entire description from the protein database). Having a regex to match against them is probably our best bet if we want to avoid single-color operon figures. This should be backwards compatible without much of a fuss.

I think that would definitely be useful for us, since we have some idea of what to expect as far as gene annotations go. Also maybe we could have the default be to alternate between 10 colors or something (instead of making everything blue)
