[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Improve default statusline colors to work with more color schemes (PR #133315)

[Jonas Devlieghere via lldb-commits]

https://github.com/JDevlieghere created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/133315

Use the reverse video [1] font effect (`${ansi.negative}`) as the default for the statusline. Inverting the foreground and background color has a better change as looking reasonably good, compared to picking an arbitrary color.
