d4ee6a2b53 options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer 
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.

98b1f8f059 options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q 
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible.  We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.

Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.
