Allow customizing the active suggestion background color via config #410

Problem

The active suggestion item in the autocomplete dropdown uses a hardcoded purple background color (#7D56F4). On certain terminal color schemes (e.g. light themes with warm-toned backgrounds like cream/beige), the white text on this purple background has very poor readability, making it difficult to see which suggestion is currently selected.

Solution

Add an activeSuggestionBackgroundColor option to the config file (.inshellisenserc / rc.toml) so users can set a custom hex color for the active suggestion's background. The default value remains #7D56F4 to preserve the
current appearance for existing users. Example config: activeSuggestionBackgroundColor = "#2E7D32".
This follows the same pattern as existing configurable options like maxSuggestions.
