hybrid.vim theme for airline uses crimson color for status line if any
modifications to the buffer are detected. It looks annoying since we
deal with it every day. Let's do not be too obsessive here and get rid
of special color at all - fortunately it's redundant as we have [+] sign
to emphasize that unsaved changes are detected.

hybrid.vim theme for airline uses pretty strange palette for both visual
and insert modes. Despite looking *strange*, one may consider it as a
design decision, however, the replace mode uses the same palette for
statusline as the normal mode and hence looks consistent. Visual
comparison could is located here:

This patch makes things consistent and use the same colors for the
status line, and different colors for mode indicator.
base16_shell theme for vim-airline matches an active Base16 Shell
theme.
It should be used in combination with Base16 Shell, which sets the
correct colors in the terminal:
(https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell).
The colors used in this theme are within the 21 term colors set by
Base16 Shell. The theme supports 2 options described in the docs.

This also defines 'g' (gui) colors, which might not be necessary and
cause unnecessary overhead (at least it caused an error when given an
invalid color (RGB without hash symbol), but was added for completeness.
- darken green background of INSERT (to match original)
- restore orange modified highlight
- unify 2nd sections, deduplicate 3rd sections
- make sides of inactive bar brighter for better readability
Using the "CursorLine" highlight style was not a good idea for the status line,
because it conflicts when the cursor line is next to the status line of an
inactive window.
Fortunately, the tabline extension allows for specific color customization.
This explicitly defines a color for a selected tab and a selected buffer.
