[GNC] Color of register placeholder text and hiding register header

[Glenn Fowler]

Thanks Adrien that is getting a little closer. Just leaving this here for
others.

1. I tried reordering but it had no effect.
2. Defining a color for 'register_cursor_fg_color' and
'register_cursor_color' didn't change anything.
3. '@define-color register_cursor_bg_color' is the same as background-color
for '*.gnc-class-register-cursor' but it DOESN'T override the cell
highlighting in 'gnc-id-cursor entry'.

So there must be a '@define-color xxxxxx' which is the same as color for
'*.gnc-class-register-cursor' (which is the placeholder text color). That
class still overrides.
Confusing. I sure couldn't make themes all day.
