Description

This isn't required in the actual vim plugin as the status bar gets replaced by the command prompt but I think it would be helpful to add that here.

We just want to add a vim.statusBarColors.command setting to change that configuration.

Locate the existing vim.statusBarColors settings and the code that applies status bar colors in command mode. Add the command setting consistently with the existing configuration, then verify that changing it updates the status bar color while entering command mode.
