Use colorModulateColorGen instead of disabling vertex color

Originally, vertex color array was disabled if colorGen CGEN_VERTEX or CGEN_ONE_MINUS_VERTEX or alphaGen CGEN_VERTEX or CGEN_ONE_MINUS_VERTEX were used,
resulting in the shader receiving the default OpenGL values for the disabled arrays (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).

Now it will instead be set via setting a bit in `u_ColorModulateColorGen`, which allows skipping the vertex format change. It will also be necessary for the geometry cache.

Also fixes incorrect lighting with `tr.mapOverBrightBits = 3`.
