support "default colors"HEADmaster-fmsbw-cimaster
* The terminal's default foreground and background colors
are now used by default (`sciteco --no-profile`), so SciTECO
integrates naturally into all terminal color schemes, even
dark-on-bright ones.
* The default Scintilla colors use only 0x000000 (COLOR_BLACK) and 0xC0C0C0 (COLOR_WHITE)
now.
* You can use `7EJ` to configure the default colors in color
schemes or your profile.
All existing color schemes had to disable default colors
(`-1,-1,7EJ`) since they wouldn't look well otherwise.
* You may add `-1,7EJ` to ~/.teco_ini when using a terminal emulator
with a washed-out palettized COLOR_BLACK.
We cannot detect the terminal's default colors automatically.
* Scinterm updated to v6.0.
We require a not-yet-upstreamed patch:
https://github.com/orbitalquark/scinterm/pull/40
* In fact, we might decide not to support default colors at all in Scinterm,
so this feature should be considered experimental.
