converts a RGB 3 x 8 Bit color into a BGR 3 x 5 + 1 Bit = 16 Bit Value for STL attribute by color values

Description

Used for WRITING COLORED STL FILES
Support of VisCAM and SolidView Colors as attribute by Byte
bits 1 to 5 are the intensity level for blue (0 to 31),
bits 6 to 10 are the intensity level for green (0 to 31),
bits 11 to 15 are the intensity level for red (0 to 31),
bit 16 is 1 if ONE color is used, or 0 if the faces color are used.
