themes: make red-pink 'Ember' the default (drop Hydra's neutral default)

default.toml is now Valentine's own plum/rose/coral palette (rose #ff5fa2
highlight) in the shared Hydra format — distinct from Hydra's neutral default,
which was just Hydra's. The other 9 themes stay synced with Hydra. Updated the
default-color test + docs.
