Files: File tagging should use elementary colours.

The file tagging colours should be from the elementary colour palette and not tango's.

I went ahead and took a stab at it and got it working I'm just not entirely sure which "weight" of the colours we should go with. I chose 100 for most of them with the exception of silver and this is what it looks like:

To avoid confusion with highlighting during e.g. drag and drop and for consistency with the relevant plugin, the term "tagging" is used.

Tag colors are currently hard coded in gof-preferences.vala:
public const string TAGS_COLORS[10] = { null, "#fce94f", "#fcaf3e", "#997666", "#8ae234", "#729fcf", "#ad7fa8", "#ef2929", "#d3d7cf", "#888a85" };

If it's as simple as changing those hex values I could probably handle that. Or is this something where we should change how it works?
