chistedit: use default curses colours

Terminals will define default colours (for example, white text on
black background), but curses doesn't obey those default colours
unless told to do so.

Calling `curses.use_default_colors` makes curses obey the default
terminal colours. One of the most obvious effects is that this allows
transparency on terminals that support it.

This also brings chistedit closer in appearance to crecord, which also
uses default colours.
