fix(highlight): reduce word-level blend alpha and match line number bg

Browse source 
Problem: word-level diff highlights were too intense at 70% alpha, and
line number backgrounds used the line-level blend instead of matching
the word-level highlights.

Solution: reduce DiffsAddText/DiffsDeleteText blend alpha from 0.7 to
0.6 and use the same blended background for DiffsAddNr/DiffsDeleteNr.
