tweaks: replace the obscure @* with the slightly clearer @sp
...
What @* does is guesswork when you don't use Texinfo regularly.
That the "sp" in the @sp command refers to vertical space is not
very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,
so better use it more.
Also, improve two wordings and fix a four-year old typo.

docs: don't use "light" after "bold", as the latter often implies "light"
...
On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console). Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

It should be "bold,white,red" instead of "brightwhite,red"
because "bright" is deprecated and not documented.

docs: make ^E access the Execute menu in the example CUA bindings
...
Also, add the normal CUA bindings for Undo (^Z) and Redo (^Y),
and drop the M-X thinko.
With these more "usual" alternative bindings, ^X will now do a Cut
(putting the cut text into the cutbuffer) only when in the main menu
-- in the other places it did not put anything into the cutbuffer,
so it's better to have only the default ^K ("kill") for that.
Suspension is now accessible with ^E^Z, and the Speller with ^E^S.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60766 .
