Recolours the README mascot to match rook's new pixel TUI banner, so the README and the terminal show the same rook.

  • Colours. The body is amber (#e8a33d, rook's C.amber), the eyes dark (#2b3136, C.border) with a cream shine (#e8e2d8, C.bright) where the pupils were. Before, the light file was a black rook and the dark file a cream one, both with white eyes.
  • Same colours in both files. Each is only edge-blended for its own GitHub background (#ffffff or #0d1117), so the edges stay smooth in both themes. The README's <picture> markup is unchanged.
  • Same animation. The new GIFs were made by recolouring the existing frames rather than redrawing them. Same frames, 50 ms timing and infinite loop. The glances and blinks are unchanged, and the shine moves with the glance.
  • Size. 184 KB each, against 116 KB (light) and 206 KB (dark) before.

I checked the rest, glance and blink frames on both backgrounds, zoomed in, for leftover white edges around the eyes. There were none.

The rook in the README now uses the TUI banner's colours: an amber body,
dark eyes and a cream shine where the pupils were. Before, the light file was
black and the dark file cream, with white eyes.

Only the colours change. The frames, the 50 ms timing and the infinite loop
are the same; the new GIFs were made by recolouring the existing frames, not
by redrawing them. Both files now use the same colours, and each is
edge-blended for its own GitHub background (#ffffff or #0d1117).

In the far-left glance the pupil touches the edge of the eye, so it was no
longer a hole inside the eye white and the recolour painted it as body: the
shine turned amber for about a second of each loop. Each eye is now the
convex outline of its white pill, so the pupil stays inside it in every
frame. Nothing else changes.

The rook in the tap's README now uses the TUI banner's colours: an amber
body, dark eyes and a cream shine where the pupils were, the same GIFs as
LambdaTest/rook#48. Before, the light file was black and the dark file
cream, with white eyes.

Only the colours change: the same frames, 50 ms timing and loop. Both files
use the same colours, each edge-blended for its GitHub background.
