Emacs: replace xresources-theme

xresources-theme works well enough for now, especially with the way I use wal currently, but it's not perfect.

xresources-theme isn't really maintained, and from a quick look through its source code it works by resetting the colors of every element of Emacs, which it doesn't fully succeed at -- display-line-numbers-mode doesn't show up in the same colors as linum-mode, for example, because display-line-numbers-mode isn't accounted for. Additionally, it makes configuring things like whitespace-mode difficult -- I'd like to tone down the contrast of the displayed whitespace characters, but any changes I make are ineffective, because they get overwritten by xresources-theme.

See: #18, #27

xresources-theme has been completely removed with the recent config rewrite. Now I need a theme replacement, ideally one that mirrors the Xresources colors.
