1c4e3774cf kitty: put the grok themes in the picker, move the mode store aside
`kitten themes` treats every .conf in <config-dir>/themes as a user
theme, which the mode system's canonical store was sitting in -- so the
picker was offering three bogus entries named light, dark and
no-preference, and had been since that store was introduced.

Move the store to ./theme-modes so ./themes means only what the kitten
means by it, and repoint apply-theme-mode.sh, the kitten shim, the
run_after hook and the test at the new path.

GrokNight and GrokDay move into ./themes with the ## name/author/
license/upstream/blurb header the kitten reads, so they now show up in
`kitten themes` and `--dump-theme` resolves them.

theme-modes/dark.conf carries the #202020 theme that was already on
disk: the file had to be re-added at its new path, so that drift comes
along with it.

addce489b4 kitty: remember the light/dark mode across restarts
kitty gives *-theme.auto.conf priority over everything -- includes and
even --override -- and has no option to stop following the OS. So the
only way to start in a chosen mode is to control what those files
contain. Make them generated:

  themes/{light,dark,no-preference}.conf  canonical, the real themes
  theme-mode                              auto | light | dark
  apply-theme-mode.sh                      writes the three .auto.conf

Under `auto` each appearance keeps its own theme, so kitty follows the
OS as before. Pinned, all three get the pinned theme, so kitty starts in
it whatever the OS says and a config reload no longer resets it.

`theme` now records the mode and reloads instead of calling set-colors,
which is why the setting survives restarts. A bare `theme` records
`auto` rather than pinning when the toggle lands on the macOS
appearance, so nothing is pinned unless it actually differs.

The kitten shim hashes the automatic theme files before running `kitten
themes` and copies whichever changed into themes/, so picking a new
light theme while pinned to dark is kept and applied on the next switch.
Covered by tests/test_theme_mode.sh.

conf.d/kitty_theme.fish is gone: theme-mode is now the source of truth,
so the universal-variable tracker it maintained is redundant.
