fix(tui): improve color contrast for light-background terminals (#40345)

* fix(tui): improve colour contrast for light-background terminals (#38636)

Detect light terminal backgrounds via COLORFGBG and apply a WCAG
AA-compliant light palette. Adds OPENCLAW_THEME=light|dark env var
override for terminals without auto-detection.

Uses proper sRGB linearisation and WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios to pick
whichever text palette (dark or light) has higher contrast against
the detected background colour.

## Terminal colors
- The TUI keeps assistant body text in your terminal's default foreground so dark and light terminals both stay readable.
- If your terminal uses a light background and auto-detection is wrong, set `OPENCLAW_THEME=light` before launching `openclaw tui`.
- To force the original dark palette instead, set `OPENCLAW_THEME=dark`.
