Don't disable color picker when editor.colorDecorators is false

[iansan5653]

When editor.colorDecorators is set to false, the color picker UI no longer appears on hover. This is the intended behavior as per the setting documentation, however it doesn't make much sense this way. There is a strong motivation for disabling the inline color decorators, since they break vertical/column text selection, but the color decorators themselves are not necessary for the color picker UI to show, since it shows when hovering over the colors themselves, not the decorators.

For example, I just installed the "Color Higlight" extension so that I wouldn't need the decorators, since they mess with vertical text selection. I then disabled editor.colorDecorators so just the highlights appear. Now, I can't use the built in color picker, which is somewhat frustrating. I have to choose between having the color picker or not having my vertical selection broken.
