We never did (and still do not) guarantee any order in which terminal emulators
are tried. Quoting from the i3-sensible-terminal man page:
> Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they
> will have $TERMINAL set or modified their i3 configuration file.
This commit moves mate-terminal to the beginning of the list, which is
considered the most accessible terminal emulator among blind users.

I think instead of maintaining distribution-specific patches forever,
it’s a bit easier to have them applied upstream, especially since they
don’t break anything.
fixes#876
The former two provide fallbacks in case $PAGER or $EDITOR is not set (which
might be more common than you think, because they have to be set in
~/.xsession, not in the shell configuration!) while the latter tries to launch
a terminal emulator. The scripts are most prominently used in i3-nagbar, which
alerts the user when the configuration is broken for some reason. Also,
i3-sensible-terminal is used in the default configuration.
This commit does not rely on the shell supporting ${PAGER:-less} anymore, which
is not the case for 'fish'.
