Summary: vertical positioning in the QuickSwitch window

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I wrote a little extenstion for the QuickSwitch window
code to allow vertical placement of the entries. 

Background: often, I need 10..15 windows having the
same icon. So it becomes difficult to use quickswitch,
I do not know how much Alt-Tab I need to press to get
into the target window. With vertical placement, I can
read all the window titles and immediately see whether
I need to press many times and then re-enable the
text-parsing part of my brain when I am near to my window.

The extension does not reimplement the functionality
already provided in the !QuickSwichAllIcons mode.

Update: the last version includes the ifndefs for LITE and
also a check for NULL window titles which make icewm crash
otherwise (with OO windows, for example).

I think now it is polished enough.

PS: please add #ifndef LITE around the new code (maxwidth
calculation) in the resize method. It is not for LITE builds
anyway.

I improved the color selection code, to have names
consistent with other colors and choose color more sanely.
Now, either the ColorQuickSwitchActive is choosen or one of
the menu colors that differs from the QuickSwitch color.

I also commented out some checks that looked unneccessary
for me, you may want to look trough the code.
