Add support for executable_file color

I find the default handling of executables (just printing them in bold) too subtle. To be able to make them stand out more, they can now be colored in a user-defined color.

Thanks!

Thought it'd be worth mentioning that I updated my colorls and was unpleasantly surprised to see my colour scheme changed (all my files were now yellow-orange-ish instead of lime). I hunted this PR down and swapped the lime/yellow colors here to get back to the default theme. What was the rationale for this "breaking" change instead of making the executable file color yellow?

Sorry for that experience. My rationale for proposing it this way, and having it like this myself after some trying around, is that the known/unknown files are more similar to each other in kind than either is to an executable file. For example, in the default settings used for the screenshot above, .c is known while .h isn't; using a color for executables that is arguably closer to the unknown file color looked very weird to me. I assumed that many would want this fixed; maybe that was uncalled for.

I see - that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Wasn't a big deal on my side (and is probably just my weird aesthetics!) 😅
