This change updates the themes so that when the synchronize-panes option is active the current window status primary background color changes to red and, if there are multiple panes, the active pane border color also changes to red. There doesn't seem to be a need to indicate the synchronize-panes status for non-active windows, since the status will become apparent when the window is made active again.

If it helps with review of this PR here's a simple binding to toggle synchronize-panes on and off to add to .tmux.conf
