826a9417e7 kitty: make the theme mode per-machine
theme-mode is a per-machine preference, and the three *-theme.auto.conf
files are generated from it plus themes/, so tracking any of them made
every machine flag the others' choice. Drop all four from the source
state and ignore them.

That leaves a freshly applied machine with no theme files for kitty to
read, so add run_after_kitty-theme-mode.sh to regenerate them from the
canonical themes. It defaults to `auto`, so a new machine follows its OS
until told otherwise, and it exits quietly where this kitty config isn't
applied rather than failing the run.

Since that script now runs on every apply, including on Linux, make the
permission lookup in both shell scripts fall back from BSD `stat -f` to
GNU `stat -c` and then to 600.

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.
