Added `lexer.colors` and `lexer.styles` and updated themes to utilize them.

This allows for a more Lua table-oriented approach to defining and using colors
and styles, instead of manually manipulating Scintilla property strings.
Themes are still backwards compatible, as the underlying mechanisms are still
in place.
