perf tui: Change default selection background color to yellow
Boris reported that 'perf top' is unusable on his default 'black on
white' terminal, which uses (eye friendly) light-grey as a background
color.
The reason is that the TUI cursor for the current selection line uses
HE_COLORSET_SELECTED, and that has a default background color of
'lightgrey' - which is a common terminal background choice and thus
the colors conflict.
Use yellow as the background color instead: that should be an uncommon
terminal background, yet it's still ergonomic on both black and
white/grey terminals.
[ It would be a better solution to straight out detect color
collisions and resolve them reasonably by converting them to RGB and
calculating color space distances, but I was unable to find
proper documentation for SLtt_get_color_object() to recover the
current color scheme so I gave up ... Yellow works well enough. ]
