Add edge-deletion subgraph 4-colorability for a minimal counterexample

Defines D(G) as the family of single-edge-deletion spanning subgraphs
of a maximal planar graph G, and shows that when G_0 is a minimum-order
5-chromatic maximal planar graph every member of D(G_0) is 4-colorable,
via a coloring pulled back from the smaller minor G_0/uv.
