The check only looked at COLORTERM, but tcell also draws 24-bit color for
terminals whose description has it (xterm-ghostty, xterm-kitty), so in
Ghostty on macOS without COLORTERM the background was never used. Use
tcell's rules, and always log which background is used and why.

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.
