If you have a 256 colors terminal (or one with true color support), then
the predefined 12 colors seem limited. On the other hand, you don't want
to draw graph lines with every single color in this mode because the two
colors could look extremely similar. This option allows you to hand pick
the colors you want.
Even with standard terminal, if your background color is neither black
or white, then the graph line may match your background and become
hidden. You can exclude your background color (or simply the colors you
hate) with this.

Compared to v2:
* set_column_colors_by_config() is renamed to set_column_colors()
* no memory leak if the function is called the second time
* proper space trimming since color_parse_mem expects so
* fixed the warning message, giving some context
* at least one test to exercise the code
* I'm not going with the cumulative behavior because I think that's
just harder to manage colors, and we would need a way to remove
colors from the config too.
