Adds the updated color schemes from Visual Studio Code's modern theme variants. These match the terminal colors used in VSCode's current Dark Modern and Light Modern themes, which differ from the legacy Dark+ scheme already included. Closes microsoft#19162

Hey, this adds both the Dark Modern and Light Modern color schemes from VSCode to match issue #19162.
I pulled the colors directly from VSCode's terminalColorRegistry.ts for accuracy. The existing Dark+ scheme uses the older terminal colors from before VSCode introduced the Modern variants, so this gives users access to the newer palette.
The Dark Modern background is #1F1F1F which is the actual color used in VSCode currently, not #1E1E1E from the legacy theme. Light Modern uses #FFFFFF background with #3B3B3B foreground text.
Tested locally in Windows Terminal and both schemes render correctly.
