Screenshot with dark background

Topic was on the agenda for the design meeting but no further input.

Personally, I dislike dark input canvases (running dark system theme myself)
and wouldn't add more UI options. But if we follow Adolfo's suggestion to obey
the system theme, an option to revert to bright is desirable to me too.
However, I'm not convinced that Basic is special just because the entered text
has much more structure.

The background color is a simple easy hack in
basctl/source/basicide/baside2b.cxx EditorWindow::EditorWindow() ->
SetBackground(Wallpaper(GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetDialogColor()));
(the additional option makes it a bit more tricky.

The dark background requires brighter font colors. So in addition we need
another preset in Tools > Options > Colors like "LibreOffice Dark" (there are
many tickets on this) and now something like "LibreOffice Basic Dark" too.
