feat(react-tokens): add dark theme token values

Closes #11803

Enhanced the @patternfly/react-tokens package to include dark theme
values in semantic token definitions, making it easier for developers
to access both light and dark theme values programmatically.

Changes:
- Added getDarkThemeDeclarations() to extract dark theme CSS rules
- Added getDarkLocalVarsMap() to build dark theme variable mappings
- Updated token generation to include darkValue and darkValues properties
- Enhanced variable resolution to support dark theme context
- Updated legacy token support to include dark values

Result:
- 1,998 tokens now include dark theme values
- Tokens with dark overrides expose darkValue property
- Backward compatible with existing code
- Enables programmatic theme switching and consistency

Implements: #11803
