Curses: fixed rendering bright/light colors on 8-color terminalsmaster-fmsbw-ci
* Scinterm was simply rendering them as black, thus effectively breaking the Linux and FreeBSD vts with terminal.tes. * I was considering to render light black as white on 8-color terminals, so it's always readable. However, if you add in A_BOLD there is a good chance that the color will end up grey - at least it does in the virtual terminals (consoles). * There is no need to use bright colors in the Scintilla view defaults. E.g. 0xFFFFF is "light white". However on 8-color terminals this will be rendered like white anyway. The new defaults are closer to what terminal.tes does.
