Add Solarized themes (Dark and Light), Patch Included

Created attachment 252475 [details] [review] Patch for Solarized Dark/Light Seeing that someone filed a bug against Mousepad in Xfce Bugzilla about this, I thought it would be nice to have the Solarized themes shipped by default from gtksourceview.
+1, the Solarized themes are "must have" in any self-respecting editor :) If this isn't wanted, I could look into adding to Mousepad but it feels weird since we try to stick to stock GtkSourceView themes and languages to keep things simple and also other GtkSourceView editors wouldn't benefit from this highly popular theme. FWIW, I think the scheme in above patch comes from here: https://github.com/craig552uk/solarized-gedit And information about the design of the theme is here: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
In general I do not want to grow a huge number of themes in gtksourceview itself (e.g. keep them < 10), however I am open to adding some of them if they match the following - they are very popular - some gtksourceview program plans to use them by default (e.g. medit uses the kate theme) These themes seem to fit, so I am ok adding them
I think Solarized themes would meet the first criteria, but at least in Mousepad, not the second one, although I would be extremely pleased to have these available by default to users.
Pushed to the master branch: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtksourceview/commit/?id=2f40636405defbd14ffe9ecc91f18af5c5c9dd3f Thanks.
