feat: expose themeable faces for mode-line and buffer text
I added four customizable faces so themes and customize-face can restyle the text wttrin draws itself: wttrin-mode-line-stale (the dimmed stale mode-line emoji), wttrin-staleness-header (the "Last updated:" line), wttrin-instructions (the footer prose), and wttrin-key (the [a]/[g]/[q] chords). The package exposed no faces before and hardcoded one color. The stale-emoji dimming used a literal "gray60". Now it inherits a face, so the color tracks the theme. I changed make-emoji-icon's second argument from a color string to a face symbol applied via :inherit. wttrin-key inherits bold rather than help-key-binding, which is Emacs 28+ while the package supports 24.4. The weather ASCII art stays colored by xterm-color's ANSI faces. Only the package's own text is newly faced.

+*** Theming the Faces
+The text wttrin draws itself uses named faces, so themes and =M-x customize-face= can restyle it. (The weather art itself is colored by the ANSI codes wttr.in returns, not by these faces.)
+
+| Face | Styles | Default |
+|---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+-------------------|
+| =wttrin-mode-line-stale= | the mode-line emoji when its data has gone stale | inherits =shadow= |
+| =wttrin-staleness-header= | the "Last updated: ..." line in the weather buffer | inherits =shadow= |
+| =wttrin-instructions= | the key-hint footer prose in the weather buffer | inherits =shadow= |
+| =wttrin-key= | the bracketed key chords ([a] [g] [q]) in the footer | inherits =bold= |
+
+Restyle them in your init file like any other face:
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (set-face-attribute 'wttrin-key nil :foreground "deep sky blue" :weight 'bold)
+ (set-face-attribute 'wttrin-staleness-header nil :slant 'italic)
+#+end_src
