Palette file with comments

Currently, there's no way to store comments within palette files.

This would be a useful addition: as a document designer, I often have to create
custom palettes. I see a need for two comment levels: at the palette file
level, a comment would allow to store versioning information, the creator's
name and the reason for any update ("created by John Doe, 2019-08-25, to comply
with the new Acme Co graphic identity 2019").
At each color definition level, a comment would allow to keep track of color
details (such as "Pantone 234C").

AFAICS, commenting is not part of the current LibO palettes specifications.

I attach a demo palette with such comments set. It is interesting to note that,
as the "comment" keyword is not used for .soc files, this palette is perfectly
read by LibreOffice (tested under v.5.4).

Moreover, the UI could display the comments as tooltips on mouse hovering the
palette name (global comment) or each individual color (color comment).

Thanks.
