Remarks:
When searching for a global palette for 8-bit bitmaps, the directory entry name for the global palette will
always '!pal'. Once the '!pal' directory entry has been found, the global palette can be extracted and used for
any bitmaps that use 8-bit indexed color. If no global palette is found, FSH decoders should look for a local
palette directly following the indexed bitmap. If no palette is found, then no palette will be created or
associated with the bitmap.
Most tools, like FSHTool, simply ignore missing palettes and save the bitmap with an empty palette with all
indices set to black.
