ThemeProvider: Deprecate redundant day and night color modes

[siddharthkp]

Description

primer/react supports more options for color modes than primer/primitives does

color modes for primer/primitives: auto | light | dark
color modes for primer/react: auto | day | night | light | dark

this is because day and night color modes are equivalent to light and dark which causes confusion. We should deprecate them in the next major.

v35

I wonder if we should hold off from making any breaking changes to ThemeProvider until we have a new theming API implemented with the new styling architecture. Seems unnecessary to make consumers update their ThemeProvider in v36 if it's going to change shortly after.

Hey you two! Just wanted to double-check with you all if this would be a good one to include or defer for v36 👀 cc @siddharthkp @colebemis
