color: recompile the file-probing regexes a little faster with REG_NOSUB
color: use bright yellow to highlight a search match
color: use inverse video for highlighting when there are no colors

docs: correct the word order for Alt+D in the cheat sheet -- it changed
docs: mention the new 'set highlightcolor' option

========================
Since 5.0:
- A search highlights the found text, in black on yellow by default.
- Option --minibar reduces the interface to a bottom bar with basic info.
- The cursor skips over combining characters, <Del> deletes them together
with the character they combine with, but <Bsp> deletes them separately.

2021.02.24 - GNU nano 5.6 "Wielewaal"
• A search match gets highlighted (in black on yellow by default),
in addition to placing the cursor at the start of the match.
The color combination can be changed with 'set highlightcolor'.
By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but
it can be forced on with --showcursor / 'set showcursor'.
• Option --markmatch / 'set markmatch' has been removed.
• Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar
only when option --constantshow / 'set constantshow' is used,
and their display can be toggled with M-C.
• The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option
--stateflags / 'set stateflags' is used.
2021.01.14 - GNU nano 5.5 "Rebecca"
• Option 'set minibar' makes nano suppress the title bar and instead
show a bar with basic editing information at the bottom: file name

<h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program &quot;establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host&quot;, and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
<h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>5.5</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>

<h3><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!</h3>
