Proposal to remove contrast themes for jQuery UI

[Justin Obara]

I’ve been looking at adding some additional low contrast themes for the
contrast preference in UI Options (See: FLUID-6297
<https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-6297> . In the process of
working on that I noticed that the jQuery UI contrast themes
<https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion/tree/master/src/lib/jquery/ui/css>
are
not actually being used. There were several references to them for use by
the prefs framework panels/adjusters; however they were not actually
required there. They most likely fell out of need when we switched off of
the jQuery UI Sliders in favour of our own native sliders and steppers.

Originally the jQuery UI contrast themes were provided as a way to add
jQuery UI specific styling created with their themeroller
<https://jqueryui.com/themeroller/> tool. Our own css scripts should be
able to handle most if not all of the work for styling these widgets in the
respective contrasts. Integrators would still be able to create their own
versions of jQuery UI themes if needed or could provide the necessary
overrides.

I propose that a part of the work for FLUID-6297
<https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-6297> we remove the jQuery UI
contrast themes from the repo. We will need to leave the default theme
which is used for styling the tooltips used by inline edit and pager.

Please let me know what you think. I’d ideally like to continue working on
this by the end of this week or the beginning of next.

Thanks
Justin
