Carry the colour scheme into terminals and the editor

The scheme switch already reached everything that reads
org.freedesktop.appearance -- GTK4, Qt6, Chromium, Electron -- because
ColorScheme.qml writes the gsettings key those all watch. Applications
carrying their own palettes did not follow, so choosing light mode left
the two windows actually used all day, kitty and neovim, still dark.

kitty: the 32 colours move out of kitty.conf into themes/, and kitty.conf
ends with `include current-theme.conf`. The generated file is machine
state rather than configuration, so it is gitignored and link-dotfiles
seeds it on install -- otherwise a fresh checkout starts by complaining
about a missing include. Running terminals are re-coloured in place over
their control sockets; a restart is not needed.

neovim: reads settings.json directly, since it neither watches the portal
nor keeps a socket open. Tokyo Night ships Day in the same family as
Moon, so light mode keeps the editor's identity instead of turning it
into a different-looking application. The existing readability overrides
were written against Moon and are now dark-only -- applied to Day they
would have put light grey on a light background, the same problem they
exist to fix, inverted. Light mode gets one override of its own:
tokyonight's shipped comment colour measures 2.54:1 against Day's
background, under the 3:1 floor for secondary text, so it is replaced
with 3.25:1 -- readable, still dimmer than Normal's 4.52:1.

An editor already open when the scheme flips re-applies on FocusGained,
which is cheap and fires exactly when the mismatch would be noticed.

Verified both directions: kitty re-coloured 4 live terminals, and neovim
starts as tokyonight-day with background=light and tokyonight-moon with
background=dark.

# Tokyo Night Moon — the dark theme Panama ships.
#
# Extracted from kitty.conf so the two schemes can be swapped. kitty.conf
# includes current-theme.conf, which Panama generates from the colour scheme
# setting; that generated file is gitignored because it is machine state.
#
# Live changes go through `kitty @ set-colors`, which is why kitty.conf enables
# remote control. Without it a scheme change would only reach terminals opened
# afterwards.
