Add a single new entry point to the plugin API:
struct t_theme *weechat_theme_register (const char *name,
struct t_hashtable *overrides);
Plugins call this at init time to contribute their per-theme color (or
other themable) overrides for a built-in theme like "dark". The
overrides hashtable maps full option names ("irc.color.input_nick") to
their string values; the caller retains ownership and may free it
right after the call. Repeated calls with the same theme name merge
into the existing registry entry, so each plugin can declare its own
contributions independently of core and of other plugins.
Wiring:
- struct t_theme forward-declared in weechat-plugin.h alongside the
other opaque types.
- theme_register function pointer added to t_weechat_plugin.
- weechat_theme_register convenience macro added.
- plugin.c initializes the pointer to core's theme_register.
- WEECHAT_PLUGIN_API_VERSION bumped to 20260526-01.
This commit is plumbing only: the underlying theme_register function
already has unit-test coverage in tests/unit/core/test-core-theme.cpp
(TEST(CoreTheme, Register)), so no new tests are added here.
