Update code to not get images from placeholder.com

[Carreau]

It has been bought by a new company and images might not hold
forever. Use local pngs to do that.

Fixes #44

I'm tempted to immediately update this script to create local 20x20 images and not rely on external providers.

[Carreau]

The script to create those images is trivial:

from PIL import Image

width, height = 20, 20


def hex_to_rgb(hex_string):
    hex_string = hex_string.lstrip("#")
    r = int(hex_string[0:2], 16)
    g = int(hex_string[2:4], 16)
    b = int(hex_string[4:6], 16)
    return (r, g, b)


hex_color = "#ccff44"
rgb_color = hex_to_rgb(hex_color)

image = Image.new("RGB", (width, height), rgb_color)

image.save("colored_image.png")

Ok, let's try with local png, it seem to work. I also thought of using just a <div style="width: 20px; height: 20px; background-color: red;"></div>, like This ->

<-, but it is sanitized by github.

Rendering won't work in the PR, you have to look at the fork:

https://github.com/Carreau/accessible-pygments/tree/rr/a11y_pygments/a11y_high_contrast_dark

Also strangely the contrast is not the same, but the colors have not changes. ~~@gabalafou any idea why ? ~~ (never mind)

This is awesome! thanks @Carreau!

I left a few suggestions but none of them need be blocking

[Carreau]

Should have addressed the comments and rebase/squashed to avoid having large intermediate commits.

This looks great, thanks for updating!

It's kinda neat that we can see how many colors are used across all the themes just by looking at the assets folder.
