Configurable colors for --color-scale

[pixelastic]

Hello there,

I really like the idea you implemented of coloring the filesize differently based on its size using --color-scale. Unfortunately, the hardcoded colors you chose don't work well with my current configuration and I'm looking for a way to configure them.

Would it be possible to add new entries to EXA_COLORS to configure them?

Thanks for your time and energy spent in this project

#363 may solve the general issue about hardcoded colors.

I do have a similar issue with not being able to read executable items using exa v0.8.0 and a dark theme: https://ibb.co/SwGDTKD

@novoid That particular shade of blue is extremely annoying. exa has to choose between dropping a colour from its already-very-limited palette (it only has 16 base colours to play with), or being unreadable for people who don't customise their terminal theme. I've chosen the second option because more and more terminals are providing a non-unreadable default theme these days.

I've tried to justify my decision in this post: https://bsago.me/blue

#607 should makes these configurable.

Documentation for how to customise the UI hasn't landed yet, but the PR has the details.
