* Makes editorial changes (changes informative sections, or changes normative sections without changing behavior)

Commit message:

editorial: rename "default display mode" to "applied display mode"

The term "default" implied a fallback, when it actually meant the display mode
currently in effect. This rename clarifies the three roles: the manifest's
`display` member declares the preferred display mode, the UA determines the
applied display mode (via the fallback chain and user/UA overrides), and the
`display-mode` media feature reflects the applied one.

Also fixes the `[=applies=]` cross-reference so the subject is the manifest
(matching the dfn at #applying), and corrects the security override example
from "another origin" to "out of scope" for consistency with the rest of the
spec.
