Summary0004876: Automatic insertion of colour names from colour sets
DescriptionThe default colour list in Scribus is now restricted to C, M, Y, K, R, G, B, black and white, which is _very good_. If a user wants to select a colour from one of the colour sets in Edit > Colour > New, he has to enter the name of the colour manually. Scribus should insert the name automatically after selection. This is a matter of convenience and not any different from displaying colours in the PP or elsewhere.

- the name should be left empty (and not set to New Color)
- if the name is empty, scribus should create automatic names based on the color values
- if the name is not empty but has not been manually edited since the last time it has been automatically set, scribus should also create an automatic name
- as soon as the user has set a name (and not cleared after that), scribus won't change the name anymore automatically
