Description
### Description
The color of the "mark occurrences" marks in the editor sidebar is not configurable. Depending on color scheme and presence of other marks, the default color isn't very visible. It would be helpful to be able to configure it.
The "mark occurrences" highlighting in the editor contents is configurable under Options > Fonts & Colors > Syntax > All Languages > Mark Occurrence. A secondary highlighting category for the sidebar would be useful, possibly under Syntax > Highlighting.
### Use case/motivation
Accessibility improvemen / personalization.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Mark Occurrence setting under Options > Fonts & Colors > Syntax > All Languages and the editor sidebar code that renders occurrence marks. Define a separate configurable sidebar highlighting category, then verify that changing it affects sidebar marks without changing editor-content highlighting.
