Description
Describe the bug
At the moment vimium's dark mode is activated only when browser's(like chrome) dark mode is activated, which itself can only be set by enabling a dark mode in the respective Operationg Systems. This causes the problem for linux users where Chrome's dark mode is not automatically set even if the user has setup a dark theme. So, inturn vimium dark mode is also not activated.
To overcome this please provide an option similar to 'Dark Reader' extension to set it "automatically" and a toggle to turn the dark mode on/off.
Thanks.
Browser and Vimium version
Vimium Version: 1.67
Chrome: 93.0.4573.0
OS: Ubuntu 21.04

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Vimium's existing dark-mode detection and settings UI, then determine how an independent automatic mode and an explicit on/off toggle should interact. Done means users can control Vimium's dark mode without relying on the browser or operating-system theme.
