feat(edit): stop forcing VISUAL to the terminal editor

VISUAL was hardwired to $EDITOR (nvim), so 'edit --visual' would launch a
terminal editor detached with no tty. Comment it out so --visual falls
through to the GUI fallback chain, and let users set a real GUI editor via
local.fish. Update the editor-variable docs to match.
