Subject: [PATCH] display: suppress spotlight yellow and error red when
 NO_COLOR is set

This makes nano conform to the https://no-color.org/ idea: suppressing
any color in the output (in the default setup) when NO_COLOR is set in
the environment.

Specifying a color for any interface element will, however, re-enable
also yellow for the spotlight and red for error messages.
