Description
**Describe the bug**
The tint color property in layers doesn't seem to affect objects, the Color property does tint shapes, but this property is not documented neither in the JSON format or the API.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Set the value for Tint color in a layer with shapes.
2. The shapes are not tinted.
3. Set the value for Color in a layer with shapes.
4. The shapes are tinted.
5. The Map JSON now has a property `color`
**Expected behavior**
Tint the shapes when setting the layer property TintColor.
**Specifications:**
- OS: Linux
- Tiled Version: 1.11.2

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Tiled 1.11.2 by comparing a layer's TintColor and Color properties on shapes, then inspect the layer shape-rendering path and the JSON/API handling for these properties. Done means TintColor visibly tints the shapes and the behavior is covered consistently with the existing Color behavior.
