decocass.cpp: Major improvements to colors and graphics layer priorities

- Implement the PRI2 pen modification effect. This makes the tunnels and headlight in Highway Chase look much more accurate, and makes some color changes work in Astro Fantasia. - Shadow color in Skater is now properly black (not a pen modification effect). - Correct background fill color, making high score screen in Super Doubles Tennis properly blue.
