Subject: refactor(ui): remove buffer-state coloring of the buffer name

The modeline colored the buffer name by write and modification state (red read-only, green modified, gold overwrite) through a classifier in user-constants.el. I removed it, the same way the matching cursor coloring was removed earlier for being more confusing than useful. The classifier had no other live user, so it and its two test files go with it. The buffer name now renders in the normal mode-line color.
