Closes #1024. The term "default" implied a fallback, when it actually meant the display mode currently in effect. This rename clarifies the three roles: the manifest declares a preferred display mode, the UA determines the applied display mode, and the display-mode media feature reflects the applied one. Also fixes the [=applies=] link so the subject is the manifest (matching the dfn at #applying), and corrects the security example from "another origin" to "out of scope" for consistency with the rest of the spec.

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
displaymember declares the preferred display mode, the UA determines theapplied display mode (via the fallback chain and user/UA overrides), and the
display-modemedia 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.
