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.

makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837 .

It would result in having both <Delete> and <Backspace> behaving as
Backspace, which seems senseless -- unless the <Delete> key produces
ASCII DEL and --rebinddelete is needed to make it behave as Delete.
In the latter case it would make more sense if --rebinddelete made
both rebindings: ASCII DEL to Delete and KEY_DC to Backspace, like
it used to be in the distant past, before commit 79a33bb3
