#36 Allow active compact buttons to have a colour sets.

Close Issue

Add an actcompactbutton colour set so focused compact buttons can be styled separately from inactive compact buttons.

Proposed behaviour: actcompactbutton should be optional and fall back to compactbutton when unset, preserving existing themes.
This would let NEWT_COLORS style focused compact buttons independently, e.g. compactbutton=white,black;actcompactbutton=black,white. This is particularly useful for whiptail --yesno dialogs, which use compact buttons.
An implementation should avoid breaking Newt’s existing public C API/ABI; a dedicated setter may be preferable to extending a public palette structure directly.

Created PR #37 for consideration.
