Themes written with `rainbow` keys are not backwards compatible. Parsing errors will be generated for older versions of Helix attempting to use themes with `rainbow` keys. A default rainbow is provided with base16 colors. This change is made with rainbow pair characters (parens, brackets, etc.) in mind but it could also be used for other rainbow cosmetic elements like rainbow indent-guides.

config.tomlas follows:Theming
A theme can define a rainbow palette as follows (e.g. by referencing palette colors):
If a theme does not define or inherit any rainbow palette, a standard color palette will be used.
In this PR the "catppuccin" themes define a custom rainbow palette.

Known issues
Dimming does not work. If
rainbow-optionis set todim, it will likely act as if set tonormal.This pull request introduces colored indentation guides, a.k.a. rainbow indentation guides.
This is helix-editor/helix#4493 (which in turn was a continuation of helix-editor/helix#4056), squashed and rebased, and with conflicts resolved.
Note
This makes considerable changes in the upstream implementation, and may never be merged upstream. We may have to refactor this implementation in the near future to avoid further conflicts.
Suggested in #42.
