Nord theme isn't correct

[jpcirrus]

Agreed. I created a custom Nord theme that combines the Nord dircolors and Alacritty (my terminal) themes, adjusted because currently multiple font-styles aren't possible in vivid. There are likely some personal tweaks which I have forgotten, but in my opinion it's an improvement and in the spirit of Nord:

Here is the Nord theme as updated for vivid version 0.10.0. The theme now exactly matches the official theme at Nord dircolors except for three changes:

1. The directory file type and directories with special permissions use nord10 instead of nord9, because against the terminal background (nord0) on Alacritty, nord9 looks too washed out.
2. Where there is a background colour, the foreground of nord4 is replaced by nord5, which I found made the text more legible.
3. The media/document file types don't all use nord14, but have been customised according to vivid categories. This is easily changed according to user preferences and required granularity.

@jpcirrus Nice! I had thought about sitting down to do this but didn't take the time yet. At first glance, it seems an improvement over the bundled one!

[sharkdp]

Thank you. Would be great if we could integrate this via a PR
