Selected some text with dark Text Selection Background color

As described in bug 384267, I suggest to make the Selection Background color of
the Text Selection Tool user configurable, and use the system default color
only as default. 

The problem is that one can use a dark Selection Background color in the system
color scheme, but PDFs also have dark text color. This makes it very hard to
check what was selected. (See attachment)

Kate does it fine, because it not only uses Selection Background, but also
Selection Text, View Background, and View Text.

So, another option would be to also use Selection Text, instead of just tinting
(?) the selection. This way, one could make invisible text visible just by
selecting it. (Try that by creating a PDF with some white text on white
background, e. g. with Inkscape; then activate Configure -> Accessibility ->
Change Colors: Change Paper Color)
