theme(wolf-alabaster): Add missing UI scopes (#15159)
Addresses feedback from @Rudxain on #15102.

Added scopes:
- ui.virtual.inlay-hint: dimmed blue (matches type color but muted)
- ui.cursorline, ui.cursorcolumn: subtle line highlighting
- ui.virtual.ruler: ruler column background
- ui.gutter: gutter background
- diagnostic.deprecated: crossed-out styling
- tag.error: error styling for malformed markup

# This is a light-background theme especically for the Helix editor.
#
# The most important part here is the syntax stuff, but the theme includes UI stuff specifically for Helix, as well.
#
# What I care about is:
# * Readable syntax, no matter the language
# * The error messages provided by the LSP
# * Anything special needed to make the UI non-surprising
# * Building a minimal definition
#
# I started from a couple important sources:
# * The [priorities and ideas](https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting/) behind the Alabaster Theme (which exists for many editors) by Nikita Prokopov
# * His [actual repo implementing the theme](https://github.com/tonsky/sublime-scheme-alabaster)
# * A [theme template](https://github.com/joegm/helix-theme-template) on GitHub provided by joegm
# I don't consider this to be done! I absolutely want feedback. I absolutely will continue to tinker.
