fix: Support hex RGB colors (#RRGGBB) in chat messages (fixes #2054)

Minecraft 1.16+ servers can send custom hex colors in JSON text
components ("color": "#RRGGBB"). MCC's ChatParser.Color2tag() only
recognized the 16 named colors, silently dropping hex values and
leaving gradient/custom-colored chat as uncolored plain text.

- ChatParser: recognize hex color values and emit internal §#rrggbb
  encoding; extend ColorCodeRegex to match the new format
- ClassicConsoleBackend: resolve §#rrggbb to ANSI escape codes via
  ColorHelper before passing to ConsoleInteractive (adapts to the
  configured ConsoleColorMode: 24-bit, 8-bit, 4-bit, or disable)
- McColorParser (TUI): parse §#rrggbb into exact SolidColorBrush
  for full RGB fidelity in Avalonia
- ChatBot.GetVerbatim(): skip the full 8-char §#rrggbb sequence
  instead of only 2 chars, preventing hex digits from leaking into
  stripped text
