Color scheme for Calamares is wrong

[Aaron Rainbolt]

[ Impact ]
Due to an oversight during the Kubuntu 24.04 rebrand, a file that was supposed to change the color scheme of the Calamares installer was left named incorrectly. It is thus not picked up by Calamares at all, and the default background color of the window is white, rather than the subtle blue we intended.

This SRU fixes the issue by renaming the file, allowing Calamares to pick it up.

[ Test Plan ]
1: Boot a Kubuntu 24.04 ISO, and click "Try Kubuntu".
2: Run `sudo apt update`, then enable -proposed and run `sudo apt update` again.
3: Install `kubuntu-settings-desktop` from -proposed. (edit: I had typoed the package name here as `calamares-settings-kubuntu`, fixed now)
4: Launch Calamares and ensure that the background color of the main area of the window is light-blue.

[ Where problems could occur ]
If a typo was made during the file renaming, it could result in the color scheme still not being applied. A fault in the color scheme file itself could also result in the color scheme applied to Calamares being wrong. The above test plan will catch either of these issues.

Original bug report

In 24.04 we tried to ship a file to change the color scheme for Calamares. Sadly we named it wrong and didn't fix it in time for the release so it does nothing. All that's needed to fix this is the file /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings/CalaTheme.colors needs to be renamed to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings/calamaresrc.
