Prefer VISUAL to EDITOR
`VISUAL` is often misused to mean desktop GUI editor it's actual purpose was to distinguish editors like `vi` (which is short for visual) from editors like `ed` (which was probably short for editor), `EDITOR` is actually intended to point to one of the latter. Rifle still defaults to `vim` if both variables are undefined, even with an old `rifle.conf` after trying to fall back on `EDITOR`.
