## Message

```
Add support for `diff.plus` and `diff.minus` highlight captures (#45459)

- Update diff in highlights.scm to use semantic @diff.plus and
@diff.minus tokens
- Add diff.plus, diff.minus tokens to fallback theme
- Add diff syntax tokens to all official themes (One, Gruvbox, Ayu)

This fixes the issue where diff files showed inverted colors (additions
in purple/blue, deletions in green) by using proper semantic tokens
instead of @string and @keyword.

Related discussion in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/34057
(thought there might be second issue in that issue)

Release Notes:

- Added support for diff.plus, diff.minus and diff.deleta theme
selectors in the diff syntax grammar. Previously diff.plus was mapped to
@string and diff.minus was mapped to @keyword.
