more faithful monokai theme #3461

Hi,

I noticed that the Monokai theme in bat doesn't quite match the color scheme of Monokai in various other applications.

For example, keywords like function (JavaScript), func (Go), fn (Rust) are highlighting as cyan in bat Monokai, whereas VSCode Monokai, Sublime Text Monokai, Vim Monokai, Emacs Monokai, and others tend to highlight more keywords in pinkish, pastel redish hue.

Tried each of the bundled bat Monokai themes with similar problems.

I know that bat is capable of rendering some tokens in that hue, like return. But the mismatch between bat Monokai highlighting and VSCode Monokai highlighting feels jarring.

Using latest stable bat from Homebrew, in zsh, in Terminal.app, on macOS Sequoia.

I don't want to break backwards compatibility with the existing bundled themes. Can we please include a new, more faithful copy of Monokai to bat? Share the name of the theme once it's ready to ship.
