Turtles can dye each other with turtle.place()

I had an idea for an AI competition where turtles "battle" each other by mining each other. The teams are identified by dyes, which the turtles can read with turtle.inspect(). However, it would be nice if the turtles could also switch teams by dying other turtles.

I think the turtle.place() function with a dye selected would be a good additional feature to have.

This could also be useful for dying sheep.

I believe this should actually already dye sheep but if you wanted to dye turtles with a turtle, it would have to shift rightclick

Hey, that's pretty good.

It would be very useful in making cool turtle networks.
