fix(dashboard): exclude dashboard-mode from global font-lock
The dashboard banner title and section headings render in the default face instead of their theme colors. The faces are defined correctly. Global font-lock fontifies the dashboard buffer and strips the `face' text properties dashboard sets by hand: it owns `face' and clears props it didn't apply. Items and the navigator survive because their color rides a dashboard-items-face overlay, which font-lock leaves alone. Excluding dashboard-mode from global font-lock keeps the banner and heading faces. I set it at top level so it applies regardless of the use-package body.
