Quick hack to make tb highlighting configurable.

For example put

    from IPython.core.ultratb import VerboseTB
    VerboseTB._tb_highlight = "bg:#039dfc"

In your ipython_config.py

Mitigate  #13446 and  #13486

 Verbose and colourful traceback formatting.
 
 **ColorTB**
 
 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python.  The
 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem.  It colors the different parts of a
 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
 text editor.
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB::
 
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.ColorTB()
 
 **VerboseTB**
 
 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
 of useful info when a traceback occurs.  Ping originally had it spit out HTML
 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun?  I
 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal.  It's a bit overwhelming,
 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
 are bug-free.  If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
 
 .. note::
 
   The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
   happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
   very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
   representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
   a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
   with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
 
   If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
   Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
   variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
   Verbose).
 
 .. note::
 
   The verbose mode print all variables in the stack, which means it can
   potentially leak sensitive information like access keys, or unencrypted
   password.
 
 Installation instructions for VerboseTB::
 
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.VerboseTB()
 
 Note:  Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
 
 Color schemes
 -------------
 
 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
 
   - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
     escapes are just dummy blank strings).
 
   - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
     or very dark background).
 
   - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
     in light background terminals.
 
   - Neutral: a neutral color scheme that should be readable on both light and
     dark background
 
 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
 possible inclusion in future releases.

             The 'force' option forces the debugger to activate even if the flag
             is false.

         management.
