BlackMATE-border Theme - Overlooked use of "bar_unfocused.png" for unfocused non-maximized windows

[ericmarceau-rogers]

Expected behaviour

Un-focused windows should all be presented with the same colour tile "bar_unfocused.png", whether maximized or not.
Frame_style "normal_unfocused" should incorporate attributes for "titlebar_fill_unfocused".

Actual behaviour

Currently, metacity-theme-3.xml for BlackMATE-border only has directives to show different colour for unfocused windows that are maximized, namely frame_style "normal_max_unfocused"!
No similar directive exists for frame_style "normal_unfocused" windows.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

• Use UbuntuMATE 22.04.4 LTS distro installation.
• Load published theme set for BlackMATE-border from mate-themes-3.22.26 build.
• Open more than one terminal.
• Click on one then the other, while looking at the titlebar to observe any colour change (none will appear).
• Maximize one window, then click on the non-maximized terminal from the taskbar and compare the titlebar colours (the colour difference will be barely visible, but it is observable).

fixes this for the normal BlackMATE theme, where it also has become an issue. Will do the same for BlackMATE-border

With my eyes the difference is very hard to spot (you have to focus on it) but it is in fact there, proving the code is working with the before and after test. Tested in marco and even in Wayfire's 3ed party marco-decorator, worked in both.

fixes this for BlackMATE-border. I got the logic reversed on the first commit so had to fix that with a second.
