[Conkeror] Shouldn't external-editor invoke VISUAL instead of EDITOR

Hi,

isn't EDITOR usually meant to be set to a command line editor and VISUAL
to be some graphical editor?  For example, I have

   EDITOR="emacsclient -t" and
   VISUAL="emacsclient -c"

so C-i in a text area will open a emacsclient in the shell conkeror was
started.  Usually I start it with some launcher app, so I even won't see
it.

So at least I'd suggest to let VISUAL take preference over EDITOR if
that's defined.

Bye,
Tassilo
