Summary: example/sdl/blue_font.pir is inconsistent in colors, rarely blue. Patch attached

<parrot>/example/sdl/blue_font.pir is rarely blue and inconsistent in color.
The problem lies in Font.pir RenderTEXT_Solid expects an integer color, not a pmc
Changing to an integer requires a change in the expected interface and hence SDL.pir
Changing SDL.pir to the correct signature requires a change in the call_lists, hence a change in <parrot>/gen/call_list/misc.in
RenderTEXT_Solid does not handle Cyrillic characters so a change to RenderUTF8_Solid is suggested in Font.pir
The RenderXXXX_Solid functions appear to expect the color parameter to be packed as rgb rather than bgr as numified by Color.pir
Hence the packing is done directly in Font.dir. Why this is the case, I havent investigated
