I'm using this code in `wish` to query widget for available options:

And it shows this widget has `-inactiveselectbackground` option.
However, it doesn't have `-inactiveselectforeground` as I was thinking
in previous patch.

-inactiveselectbackground inactiveSelectBackground Foreground #c3c3c3
#c3c3c3
But I have no idea how to get this colors from ttk::style. Looking at
awdark theme, it set's inactiveselectbackground in function
setTextColors, which is used on text widget directly. And we cannot use
it here.
I think calculating that gray color from current selection bg is too
much work for just one color.
We can just set inactiveSelectBackground to some neutral gray color
like #707070 or #909090 which will work fine with both dark and light
themes.
And, because we're using "widgetDefault" priority - themes can override
this, when they want to explicitly set this color.
