Automatically adjust ANSI color contrast (#34033)
Closes #33253 in a way that doesn't regress #32175 - namely,
automatically adjusts the contrast between the foreground and background
text in the terminal such that it's above a certain threshold. The
threshold is configurable in settings, and can be set to 0 to turn off
this feature and use exactly the colors the theme specifies even if they
are illegible.

## One Light Theme Before

/>

(Last row is highlighted because otherwise the text is unreadable; the
foreground and background are the same color.)

## One Light Theme After

(This is with the new default contrast adjustment setting.)

This approach was inspired by @mitchellh's use of automatic contrast
adjustment in [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/) - thanks, Mitchell! The
main difference is that we're using APCA's formula instead of WCAG for
[these
reasons](https://khan-tw.medium.com/wcag2-are-you-still-using-it-ui-contrast-visibility-standard-readability-contrast-f34eb73e89ee).
