While browsing themes in theme selector, the currently active theme will always be marked with a check icon so you can always have a reference of where you started from.

* Refactor how tracking and comparing the original theme is done in
  order to use its id instead of string comparison
* Refactor how the check icon is used for the active theme in order to
  leverage `ListItem::end_slot`
* Use `Color::Muted` for the check icon, similar to what we're doing for
  `line ending selector: toggle`

Thank you @mateioprea !

I've refactored the solution a little bit and decided to also add it to the icon theme selector 🙂

Perfect! Thank you for that. I'm slowly learning Rust by fixing issues that I see in Zed 😄
