Automatic Dark (Night) Mode

Description

This plugin is no longer necessary with Anki 2.1.52 and above, which supports dark mode and automatic switching out of the box. My thanks to the Anki developers for implementing this feature! This add-on sets Night Mode when Anki is launched, using the the darkdetect Python library to detect dark mode. This should work with any version of macOS, Windows and Linux that supports dark mode.
