tweak(indent-guides): subtle bars & bitmaps (almost) by default

In e0a926d, I defaulted to not using bitmaps for indent-guides, but
after some more research, I realize this slowness is more prominent on
MacOS, older PGTK builds, and (possibly) Windows, so I've opted to
re-enable bitmaps by default, unless you're on one of those
systems (except Windows; still testing that).

This change also makes the guide bars more subtle, since the default is
too distracting and colorful.
