Title: Adjust solarized color palette

I believe the colors for solarized are in the wrong order. The values themselves are OK but they are in the wrong slots.

When I generate a theme for Mintty using your solarized colors it comes out with a black background and the colors look a bit off compared to the screenshots at the solarized home page http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) and a previous (presumably hand-rolled) Mintty solarized theme I got from https://github.com/mavnn/mintty-colors-solarized

Solarized should have a dark bluish background (#002b36), not absolute black, so I also tweaked the Mintty template to set ForegroundColour, BackgroundColor and CursorColour as in the mavnn repo.

With the changes in this pull request, I get a solarized mintty theme that exactly matches gVim (which is my reference standard for how solarized should look), the screenshots on the solarized repo, and the other Mintty theme mentioned above.

For reference, here is Ethan's color table, and I have added the corresponding "base16" slot at the right hand side which I worked out by matching the TERMCOL ("br" means "bright", aka "light", aka "bold", man I hate all these different colour terms :-()
