#3044: d.northarrow: transparent color does not work

Option fill_color of d.northarrow is not respected.
Support for transparency, would increase the number of style options. I
can see how even transparent line color would potentially create some
interesting options as well.
Other modules support that but if it is too difficult to implement, the
transparent option should be removed.

It looks that D_parse_color() returns same value both for input string
"black" and "none". Could you provide me an example of module where
transparency is already implemented?

Comment (by lazaa):
option {{{text_color}}} added. Transparent color now works. However many
symbols are not really transparent and their fill color is just white with
no chance to change it.
