refactor(theme): read the palette from unified-desktop-theme
Both components had their own copy of the Macchiato colours, and the
second copy appeared the moment there was a second component. Editing the
palette meant editing it in as many places as there were shells, and they
would have drifted.
They now read ~/.cache/wal/udt-palette.qml, which udt-accent generates
from unified-desktop-theme's palette.rasi. The file is watched, so a
palette change reaches a running shell in place, the same way the accent
already did.
What is left in Theme.qml is a fallback, used before the file has been
read and on a machine where unified-desktop-theme is not installed, which
is what keeps each directory runnable on its own.
The file is parsed rather than imported: a generated QML singleton cannot
be imported without a qmldir beside it, and the wal cache has no reason
to carry one.
