files/patch-colors.diff: adjust default colors to be readable on most
reasonable backgrounds
The default colors for overstrike & underline text are very hard to read on
terminals with a bright background.
The patch corrects these to be readable on both dark & bright backgrounds. It
changes brightgreen -> magenta & brightred -> blue in the source & config
example files. Additionally I took the freedom to add a hint in the example
files that it's better to set the background to 'default' instread of 'black',
since that works for both dark & bright background. With the colors changed,
sysutils/most is a near-perfect candidate to read manpages & as default PAGER,
espc. for newbies & noobs, since it has a statusbar & _tells_ which keys to
press.
