Subject: [PATCH] Optimize get_color_mapping_from_environment

The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup by eliminating redundant function calls and reducing attribute lookups in hot paths.

**Key optimizations:**

1. **Inlined environment validation**: Instead of calling `color_mapping_available_in_environment()` separately, the validation logic is moved directly into the main function. This eliminates one function call overhead when environment colors are available (the common case in many test scenarios).

2. **Reduced repeated attribute lookups**: The original code accessed `DEFAULT_COLOR_PALETTE` and computed `len(DEFAULT_COLOR_PALETTE)` multiple times within the dictionary comprehension. The optimized version caches these values in local variables (`palette` and `palette_len`), avoiding repeated global lookups and length calculations.

3. **Import optimization**: Added explicit import of `DEFAULT_COLOR_PALETTE` to reduce module attribute resolution overhead.

**Performance characteristics by test case:**
- **Environment with colors**: 7-20% faster due to eliminated function call overhead
- **Large-scale default palette generation**: 10-19% faster due to cached palette length and reduced attribute lookups in the tight loop
- **Edge cases**: 1-10% faster from reduced overhead, though some very small cases show minimal regression due to slightly more upfront setup

The optimizations are most effective for scenarios with either valid environment colors (eliminating function call) or large class lists requiring default palette cycling (eliminating repeated length calculations in loops).
