feat(colorarea): remove modifiers from the API [SWC-1264]

[castastrophe]

Description

This update removes --mod-colorarea-* custom property hooks per SWC-1264, see also the RFC for extensible styling. Class selectors and variants remain unchanged; stories were refreshed to match the current API.

• Remove all --mod-colorarea-* custom property hooks.
• Reduces unnecessary re-mapping of custom properties in favor of using them directly

Breaking change: the --mod-colorarea-* override layer is removed. Consumers should set --spectrum-color-area-* variables directly where customization as needed.
