Add support for setting colors using "Operation System Command" sequence.

In traditional terminals which support 256 color, (Gnome terminal, xterm, iTerm and etc.) colors can be set using Operation System Command sequence. In example: printf "\033]4;18;rgb:ff/00/00\033\\". Where \033 escape character and 4 means color set command, followed by color number 18 and color in RGB with closing `\033\’ escape sequence. However, terminals which built using xterm.js (VC’s internal terminal or Hyper terminal) dose not reflect system color change commands.

Details

• Browser and browser version: I tested it under VSCode IDE and Hyper.is terminal which uses internal xterm.js
• OS version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• xterm.js version: Depends on VSCode IDE and Hyper.is

Steps to reproduce

1. Input following printf "\033]4;18;rgb:ff/00/00\033\\" in Gnome terminal and Hyper or VC’s terminal for comparison.
2. And then input following printf "\033[38;5;18mWhat color is it?\033[0m\n". It shows “What color is it?” in RED color on the gnome terminal however on Hyper terminal it shows blue (Images attached). Changes by previous command was not reflected to xterm.js.

So, it would be nice if it will be added to xterm.js since there is many color themes which require custom colors. Gnome output:

Hyper output:

For information, I’ve been working on #3163 that, once finished and if merged, would provide support to set colors using OSC 4 sequences.

@jerch not permanently it will last until terminal session ends. Which means if you reload xterm colors will reset to original.
