Title: (colors) Use bold for blue foreground, making blue lighter

Please pull this simple change, it really makes life easier for people with black terminals and laptops with low brightness.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words:

I believe the change is not much invasive to the default coloring scheme, so it shouldn't make users go crazy.

The same "issue" can be spotted in some of the official screenshots: http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/screenshots/

This change makes blue more visible in non-xterm terminal emulators as well, though the difference is not that significant.
