Make the vim yank background color configurable as "vim.yank.background".
* Update theme importer to map the `vim_yank_background` color to the VS Code's `editor.rangeHighlightBackground` color. This is not set in stone, but taking a quick look at the list of available colors for a theme, this one seems to make sense. * Update `theme::schema::theme_colors_refinement` such that, if a theme does not define the `vim.yank.background` color, it'll default to the `editor.document_highlight.read_background` color, which it was already using before these changes.

Thanks @kaspernyhus ! 🙂
I've pushed a smaller commit updating the VS Code theme importer, as well as the fallback color when a theme does not define the vim.yank.background color – b90e5ce .

* Add a dedicated `vim.yank.background` theme color for the yank highlight, which was previously hardcoded to `editor.document_highlight.read_background`. * When a theme doesn't define `vim.yank.background`, it falls back to `editor.document_highlight.read_background` for backwards compatibility. * The VS Code theme importer maps `editor.rangeHighlightBackground` to this new color. Release Notes: - Added configurable `vim.yank.background` theme color for vim yank background highlight --------- Co-authored-by: dino <dinojoaocosta@gmail.com>
