[PATCH 6/6] vt: support bright backgrounds for \e[48m if unblinking

From: Adam Borowski
Date: Tue Jul 17 2018 - 23:04:02 EST


This improves schemes used by fancy new programs. For example, it lets
bright powerline segments match, and fixes images shown by catimg being
striped to the point of unreadability.

Handling of 8-color backgrounds uses stripped 16-color value instead of a
dedicated formula; this works worse for dark and better for bright inputs.
