[Rd] colour palettes in biplot

biplot could benefit from allowing colour palettes,

eg. allowing col=list(xcol= xxpal, ycol= yypal) where xxpal and yypal
are palettes.

For an example, see the robust pricipal components in the principal
componetent section of
	<http://www.statlab.uni-heidelberg.de/data/olive/olive10.pdf>


The required change is to replace
col[1L] resp. col[2L] by col[1L]] reep. col[[2L]] for example in

 plot(x, type = "n", xlim = xlim, ylim = ylim, col = col[[1L]], ## <<
         xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, sub = sub, main = main, ...)


Existing code should not be broken by this change.

Yours,
  gs.
