quickshell: pick the accent from the palette, don't trust base0D

Browse source 
Every icon in the bar was already bound to a Theme colour — the problem
was which one. base0D is the accent for 33 sites and every status colour
harmonises toward it, but the generator fills each slot independently:
on wallhaven-5y39p9 all six accent slots come back orange (H=0.08)
except base0D, which comes back blue-grey. Hence a blue NixOS logo and
a blue workspace pill in an amber bar.

Accent now auditions all six slots and takes the one nearest S=0.60.
Nearest, not max: max picks the neon fe5162 on wallhaven-k8dqr6, close
enough to err that errors stop reading as errors. Only 5y39p9 and
k8dqr6 change; the other four keep the colour they already had.

Renamed base0D -> accent since it no longer names the slot it comes from.
