use bold magenta instead of bold white for highlighting

according to a poll of gay people in my phone, purple is the most popular color to use for highlighting

| color      | percentage |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| bold white | 6%         |
| blue       | 14%        |
| cyan       | 26%        |
| purple     | 37%        |
| magenta    | 17%        |

unfortunately, purple is not supported by 16-color terminals, which rustc apparently wants to support for some reason.
until we require support for full 256-color terms (e.g. by doing the same feature detection as we currently do for urls), we can't use it.

instead, i have collapsed the purple votes into magenta on the theory that they're close, and also because magenta is pretty.
