If someone wants to see the lines without the match standing out, they
can customize list-matching-lines-face to nil.  So this use case is
already covered.

FTR, I do want to see the match itself, so this face does its job for
me very well.

If we change the face's colors, we should make sure the new colors
look well on both light and dark backgrounds.
