feat: drop dim colors, keep only bright variants renamed to base names

Remove the 8 non-bright and 1 bright-black colors from all color maps.
Rename the remaining 7 bright-* colors to their base names (e.g.
bright-green → green) so the palette is smaller and always vibrant.

Update _init_color_pairs in tui.py to always apply A_BOLD (all palette
entries are now bright variants), and fix all tests to match.
