Consider using `color` rather than `colour` to mirror CSS

I’m wondering if we instead of using govuk-text-colour we could use govuk-text-color.

This mirrors the spelling seen elsewhere in CSS.

color: $govuk-text-color;

vs

color: $govuk-text-colour;

I’m not sure it’s worth embracing the UK spelling here, we should be inclusive and take the hit 😉

It feels like something we could support as a synonym, but I’d still keep the UK spelling as the primary name.

From a user on Slack:

My only mistake which caused me some head scratching was mistyping “govuk-colour” with “govuk-color” in a mass find-replace and wondering what the heck was going on. I appreciate why we use the word “colour” but when the “govuk-colour” variable is being used to set a color property, is there any reason why govuk-color wasn’t used?
