Subject: [PATCH] Let strikethrough work in the theme colors that gocui draws

Config.md lists strikethrough as a modifier for theme colors, but only
GetTextStyle knows it. GetGocuiStyle turns an unknown name into white,
and white OR-ed with a palette color is white. So if you set a border
color to [red, strikethrough], you get a white border without
strikethrough. The same goes for the parts of the selected line,
options text and default text colors that gocui draws.
