docs(auto-dim): note that ANSI-coloured terminal spans stay lit
The commentary claimed EAT buffers dim like any other buffer. Background and uncoloured text do, but ANSI-coloured spans keep their colour: EAT attaches them as anonymous face plists with a literal foreground, and face-remap-add-relative only reaches named faces.
I went looking for the missing face name in this alist before working out there isn't one. The note says so now, and points at an overlay as the way in.
