tweaks: move the --magic option up, so that --zero comes last
...
This makes that the three options that change the default layout
of the interface (--stateflags, --minibar, --zero) come last.
Also, sort the option letters into a consistent order in the code.

docs: remove the two notices about the changed defaults
...
It has been more than three years since version 4.0 was released,
the moment that the defaults for line wrapping, smooth scrolling,
and the size of the editing window were changed.
Keep the note in the texi manual, though, as it is less in the way,
and the manual generally contains more info than the man pages.
