Codeman maintainer 9acc5aad50 fix(terminal): name the selection colour the way xterm 6 does
Every per-skin xterm palette declared its selection layer as `selection`,
the key xterm.js renamed to `selectionBackground` in v5. An ITheme is a
plain object handed straight to the terminal, so an unknown key is not an
error, it is dropped: all seven skins have been drawing xterm's built-in
default, rgba(255,255,255,0.3), rather than the colour sitting next to it
in the palette.

Nobody saw it on the dark skins, where white at 30% is close to what those
palettes asked for. On the four light skins it is white over a near-white
background: blended, Paper Gray's selection differs from its own background
by 3/255. That is not a subtle highlight, it is no highlight, and it looks
exactly like a selection gesture that failed, which is part of what #360
reports on Android Chrome.

test/skin-themes.test.ts pins both halves: the key name, and that the
blended selection stays at least 16/255 from the background on every skin,
plus the light-skin fallback landing under that floor, which is what makes
this a fix rather than a rename.
