Fixes github/cli#833

This pull request is a follow up to #10709 for non-tabular information displayed to users.

The result being muted text displayed to users is appropriate for their background appearance / theme (light, dark, none) while also being customizable through user's terminal preferences.

Demo

Dark

gh-repo-view-dark-default gh-repo-view-dark-colorized

Light

gh-repo-view-light-default gh-repo-view-light-colorized

This commit converts all of the places using ColorScheme.Gray and ColorScheme.Grayf to Muted and Mutedf.

There is a little extra tidying up with local variable names or converting code to use Mutedf format.

UPDATE: I forgot to set the GH_ACCESSIBLE_COLORS=1 env var. With that in place the color at index 7 (8th, reserved for "white") is used to print the muted text:

gdm-respect

UPDATE: Checked with this branch, and it seems the problem is there (screenshot updated).

UPDATE: My bad. I just tried the latest release not this one. Let me check and come back again.

Thanks for the PR, @andyfeller. I was curious to see the effect on gnome-terminal I'm using on Linux, and found that changing the gray(s) in the color palette does not affect the CLI output. Below is the screenshot. Maybe I'm missing something here.

UPDATE: Also tried these with this branch but the output was the same.

I tried gh repo view cli/browser command on presets available in gnome-terminal and here is the result. All seems good, except a bit for the Tango dark (the last one in the dark themes).

Thanks for checking out the experience on Linux, @babakks! 🙌 Again, the goal of these changes are to use a base 16 color that users could customize via their terminals. In the case of Tango Dark, this touches on a situation where user preference might require them to tweak preferences if they desire to continue using that background.

#### :accessibility: Accessibility public preview

This release marks the public preview of several accessibility improvements to the GitHub CLI that have been under development over the past year in partnership with our friends at [Charm](https://github.com/charmbracelet) including:

-   customizable and contrasting colors
-   non-interactive user input prompting

These new experiences are captured in a new `gh a11y` help topic command, which goes into greater detail into the motivation behind each of them as well as opt-in configuration settings / environment variables.

#### Accessibility

This release contains dark shipped changes that are part of a larger GitHub CLI accessibility preview still under development.  More information about these will be announced later this month including various channels to work with GitHub and GitHub CLI maintainers on shaping these experiences.

##### Ensure table headers are thematically contrasting

[#&#8203;8292](cli/cli#8292) is a long time issue where table headers were difficult to see in terminals with light background.  Ahead of the aforementioned preview, `v2.70.0` has shipped changes that improve the out-of-the-box experience based on terminal background detection.

The following screenshots demonstrate the Mac Terminal using the Basic profile, which responds to user's appearance preferences:
