Changes to "schema" aka "color theme" handling

[Christoph Cullmann]

Hi,

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/ktexteditor/-/merge_requests/21

If somebody could give this some testing, that would be appreciated.

You need latest master syntax-highlighting due to some bugfixing + the 
branch of
that request.

Feedback (+ fixes) appreciated.

Greetings
Christoph
