- Add preview_theme field to AppState for temporary theme previews
- Add set_preview_theme, get_effective_theme_colors, start_theme_preview,
  cancel_theme_preview, and confirm_theme_preview methods
- Add ModalResult::ActionContinue for live preview without closing modal
- Add ModalAction variants: PreviewTheme, RevertTheme, ConfirmTheme
- Update ThemeSelectorModal to emit preview actions on navigation
- Add color swatch display in theme selector rows
- Handle new theme actions in event loop
- Update ThemePicker to use ThemeSelectorModal instead of interactive builder
- Add comprehensive tests for new preview functionality
