> Previously while tabbing through the JTable cell, the cell highlighter/focus ring was not visible against the selection background. 
> 
> Changes are made to Aqua LAF to derive a lighter focus ring color by changing saturation and setting brightness component to 100% of original focus ring color so that it is visible while tabbing through `JTable` cells. A new method is added for this purpose which takes in `focusRingColor`, does adjustment to saturation and brightness and returns a new focus ring color. There are edge cases where the HSB transformation does not yield the right focus ring color, for these cases a default color is returned.

> The edge case condition consists of two parts –
> To handle white/black colors - (hsbValues[0] == 0 && hsbValues[1] == 0) - representing hue and saturation of zero obtained for black, white or exactly grey (red=green=color) conditions
> To handle grayish colors - hsbValues[1] <= satGrayScale where satGrayScale <= 0.10 . For any given hue and brightness, a saturation of less than or equal to 10% represents grayish tint colors.
> (The second case was added to accommodate grayish focus ring color returned by system when Accent color = Graphite.  The returned color is not exactly gray but grayish (r=135, g=135, b=140)). 
> To accommodate a more generic case of grayish colors, the satGrayScale has a threshold or buffer of 0.10 or 10%. 
> 
> Used the following resources to test out different grayish colors and optimal saturation offsets used in  `deriveLighterFocusRing()`.
> 
> - [RapidTables](https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/color/rgb-to-hsl.html) 
> - [Colorizer](http://colorizer.org/).
> - [Chart Link](https://codepen.io/HunorMarton/details/eWvewo)
> 
> A test case is added to compare the RGB difference between the original focus ring color & selection background and the new focus ring color & selection background.
> 
> PS: The native L&F (Mac OS) and Swing L&F for JTable cell tabbing differs (on native tables the cell background turns white on focus with a cell focus ring). Since the background for Swing tables can be set by users and also overridden by subclassing `DefaultTableCellRenderer`, and to adhere to current implementation of Swing, the white cell background changes are not incorporated. Only the Focus Ring/ Cell Highlighter is made more prominent.
