Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When choosing colors for the status bar in different modes, one cannot use the color picker.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the settings like vim.statusBarColors.insert to behave like the builtin color settings like statusBar.background, and be able to use a color picker.

Research direction

Start by locating the configuration definitions for vim.statusBarColors.insert and the builtin statusBar.background setting. Compare how both settings are exposed in the settings page and determine what is needed for the Vim setting to support the color picker; done means the status-bar color settings can use that picker.
