Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Add italic colour styling for AI correction suggestions

Modifies two methods in SuggestionStripLayoutHelper:

1. getSuggestionTextColor(): Returns mColorAutoCorrect for AI suggestions
   (KIND_APP_DEFINED / KIND_AI_CORRECTION = 6), giving them the same accent
   colour as auto-corrections.

2. getStyledSuggestedWord(): Adds an italic StyleSpan for AI suggestions so
   users can visually distinguish them from regular word predictions.

Both method signatures and bodies verified against HeliBoard main (Apr 2025).
