* mh-customize.el (mh-folder-msg-number): Snow is actually off-white

on low color displays which turns to white when bold. This is
unreadable on white backgrounds. Use snow with min-colors requirement.
Use cyan on low-color displays.

* mh-init.el (mh-defface-compat): On low-color displays, delete the
high-color display rather than simply strip the min-colors requirement
since the existing algorithm shadowed the desired display on low-color
displays.
