Consistent screen caption on different terminals.

The inactive caption line didn't look the same in xterm and PuTTY as it
did in rxvt-unicode.  Instead of using bold and reverse for the black on
white text we now explicitly set white on high-intensity black.  The
result unchanged in rxvt-unicode and now looks the same in other
terminals.
PuTTY needs an explicit C8 termcapinfo to use bold for high-intensity.
