Implement freedesktop color scheme preference (New Dark theme setting standard)

#1

There are some Linux distributions right now like elementary OS that are strictly sticking to the standard so the Sublime Text is always showing the light color scheme on there.

GNOME and KDE have adopted this new preference already.

A major app that already has this in use is Firefox since version 98.

Here are some links for reference:

If this post intents do suggest some changes/enhancements to how ST behaves, those information might better be placed at https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues to avoid them getting lost.
