Subject: [PATCH] feat: minimap ticks for search matches wear the highlight
 colour (MinimapMark.Color)

A CodeEditor whose MatchColor is red (the go-slides playground marks its
problems that way) now gets red ticks on the minimap, pulled toward OnSurface
where they would sit under 3:1 on the panel.
