Add Kempe-chain structure of 4-colorings of edge-deletion subgraphs

For G_0 a minimum-order 5-chromatic maximal planar graph and any
4-coloring of G_0 - uv, the endpoints u, v must share a color, and the
color classes pairing that color with each of two other colors must
each induce a u-v path. The Kempe-chain parts follow from a standard
swap-on-component contradiction against the shared-color claim.
