rootiest 500dd8a735 feat(help): standardize colored --help output across functions
Add the established c_head/c_cmd/c_flag/c_dim/c_arg color scheme to
--help (or usage-on-error) output in play-media and 13 other functions
that lacked it or used an ad hoc scheme: bkg, detach, replay, p, y,
spark, wake-lock, open-url, repo-open, dng2avif, dockup, fish-deps
(__fish_deps_help), and scrub.

Also tweak the standard itself:
- c_cmd now uses plain `set_color --bold` instead of `--bold white`,
  so the command name adapts to the terminal's foreground instead of
  forcing white text that washes out on light-background themes.
  Applied across all functions already using the pattern.
- jobrunner's reset variable renamed from c_rst to c_reset to match
  the naming used everywhere else.

# SYNOPSIS
# bkg <command> [args...]
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Launches a command in the background, fully detached from the terminal
# using nohup. All stdout and stderr output is discarded. Simpler than
# detach; no --version flag.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# command The command to run detached
# args... Additional arguments for the command
#
# EXIT STATUS
# 0 Command launched successfully
# 1 No command provided
#
# EXAMPLE
# bkg firefox
function bkg --description 'Execute bkg'
# Check if a command was provided as an argument.
if test -z "$argv[1]"
set -l c_head (set_color --bold cyan)
set -l c_cmd (set_color --bold)
set -l c_arg (set_color cyan)
set -l c_reset (set_color normal)
echo "$c_head""Usage:$c_reset $c_cmd""bkg$c_reset $c_arg""<command> [arguments...]$c_reset"
return 1
end
# Run the command using nohup to make it immune to hangups (like closing the terminal).
# Redirect both stdout and stderr to /dev/null to discard all output.
# The final ampersand (&) sends the entire process to the background.
nohup $argv &>/dev/null &
