Message:

Clamp the number of color pairs to 256 without ext-color

Debian doesn't build their ncurses with ext-color support, so it only
supports 256 colorpairs. However, ncurses still reports the full 32768
value, and color pairs end up trampling over each other.

When 256 is exceeded, the existing colorpair reset logic will now kick
in and fix things. Reword a comment accordingly.

While I'm here, get rid of the colorpairs member in owl_global. ncurses'
works just fine.
