chat: let pfUI's chat colors own their alpha and apply live

Two problems with routing the native transparency slider into the pfUI panel.

RefreshBackgroundAlpha overwrote the alpha of C.chat.global.background on every
refresh, so anyone with custom colors enabled saw their configured opacity
revert on reload, tab switch and dock change. That value carries its own alpha,
is set by the shipped profiles and is shared with the meter skins, so the slider
must not own it. Skip the alpha mirror entirely when custom colors are on; the
slider still drives the panel on the default theme, which is what issue #48 was
actually about.

The colors were also only applied at module load, so the pickers needed a
/reload to show anything. Extract that into ApplyPanelColors and expose it as
pfUI.chat:UpdateConfig, which the gui resolves as U["chat"], so the three chat
color settings take effect on the spot. CreateBackdrop is re-run first to
restore the appearance theme, which is what lets toggling custom colors back
off return the panel to the global theme without a reload.
