Subject: [PATCH] feat: distinct user message body color (green) (#1168)

Use a dedicated user_body_style() with a green (#4ADE80 / #15803D)
foreground color for user messages instead of sharing the
message_body_style() (TEXT_PRIMARY) used by assistant messages.

This makes user input visually distinguishable from assistant
responses in the transcript.

Changes:
- palette.rs: add USER_BODY and LIGHT_USER_BODY color constants
- palette.rs: adapt_fg_for_palette_mode entry for light-mode mapping
- history.rs: add user_body_style() function
- history.rs: replace message_body_style() with user_body_style()
  in all three User render paths (lines / lines_with_options /
  transcript_lines)
