Subject: [PATCH] Use less contrasting color for powerline alt separator

This change makes it so that when using powerline-style tab bars, and
if the `tab_bar_background`, `inactive_tab_background` and
`inactive_tab_foreground` are all different, the separator between
inactive tabs uses the less contrasting color between the inactive
foreground, and the tab bar background.

This fixes #3664.
