[HighContrast] Days of a different month in GtkCalendar should be grey, not black

Created attachment 308905 [details] Screenshot. July 27 to July 31 and September 1 to September 6 should be grey. When using the HighContrast theme, the days of the previous and next months in a GtkCalendar are written in black (on white), as the days of the current month. I do think using lighter would be clearer for understanding (as it is in Adwaita).
I’m reopening as I’m not happy with the pushed fix: it also makes the day-in-the-week (mon., tue., etc.) go grey. I don’t see a good reason for that, we’re not loosing an information in having it black, and it’s a quite important information.
Its the same appearance under Adwaita, though.
It may be considered prettier to have it grey on Adwaita (I honestly don’t care), but the main goal of HighContrast as I understand it is to ensure the best readability possible without losing information. So, black.
I would definitely style the day names row differently, even in Adwaita. I don't see it exposed in any way to the theme though.
I've pushed a commit that shows how its done
