Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 f51c4aaefc Pick the colors of authors for the terminal's background ...

The colors that lazygit derives from the names of authors are picked
for a dark background. On a light one, they are too pale to read;
against white, every author has a contrast ratio between 2.2:1 and
3.5:1.

Now that lazygit knows whether the terminal is dark or light, pick them
from a darker range of lightness when it is light. Against white, the
contrast ratio is now between 5.2:1 and 9.2:1, and against the
background of Solarized Light between 4.8:1 and 8.5:1. On a dark
background, nothing changes. If the terminal switches between dark and
light while lazygit is running, draw the commits again in the new
colors.

Add gui.colorScheme for terminals that don't tell us, and for anyone
who wants to override what they tell. It is 'auto' by default; 'dark'
and 'light' ignore what the terminal says.
