Colors no longer come from the terminal's palette, whose color 0 many
color themes set to a grey that is not their background. A theme sets
tview's default styles and the color names used in texts, all chosen from
entries 16-255 of the 256-color table so terminals without 24-bit color
show them exactly. "auto" picks light or dark from the background color
the terminal reports. Settable in the Config view, applied at the next
start (widgets copy their colors when created). Replaces using the
terminal's own background and text colors.

On a light background (Catppuccin Latte in Ghostty on macOS) the panes
kept palette color 0, a dark grey slab with white text. The probe now also
asks for the text color (OSC 10). Light backgrounds are used as well, with
text, borders and titles in the terminal's text color, input fields and
buttons in a light shade of it, and the active tab drawn in it.

The panes used palette color 0, which color themes such as Catppuccin set
to a grey lighter than their background: everything looked washed out and
grey text almost disappeared (seen in Ghostty on macOS). The startup probe
now also asks for the background color (OSC 11), and with 24-bit color and
a dark background that color is used. The probe always runs at startup, so
a later switch to real images in the Config view never has to ask the
terminal while the screen owns it.

Go cannot set a read deadline on a terminal device on macOS (kqueue does
not support them), so the probe failed at once and Ghostty and kitty got
block posters there. Wait for the answer with select(2) instead.
