Use \$EDITOR as default editor, falling back to vi (task 344)

defaultConfig() now reads the \$EDITOR environment variable for EditCmd
so users get their preferred editor automatically without touching the
config file. Falls back to "vi" (universally available) when \$EDITOR
is unset or empty. A JSON config value still takes precedence over \$EDITOR.

Updated tests to: unset \$EDITOR where "vi" fallback is asserted, add
TestLoad_editorEnvVar covering the three cases (\$EDITOR unset, \$EDITOR
set, JSON override), and remove all stale "hx" references from comments.
