Change `@variable` color in Gruvbox themes to be less intense (#25464)

This PR changes the color used for `@variable` syntax highlights in the
Gruvbox themes to be less intense.

We now use the same color as `editor.foreground`.

In #25333 and #25331 the highlight used for identifiers in Rust and
Python, respectively, was changed to `@variable`, which resulted in the
intense colors you see in the "Before" screenshots above.

We considered reverting the highlight query changes to those languages,
but after taking a look at our other languages, they already use similar
queries. Instead we're adjusting the theme to make these cases less
visually intense.

Release Notes:

- Gruvbox themes: Changed the color used for `@variable` syntax
highlights to be less intense.
```
