TrueColor (24 bits) support

[Антон Кочков]

Hm. From the http://lists.suckless.org/dev/1307/16688.html :
> I've been doing some ansi tests and found that only xterm (not urxvt, vte, iterm2,cmd.exe) supports truecolor ansi escape codes.
> It is documented in wikipedia, but afaik, only radare2 uses it (when enabled).
