3b5f650621 tweaks: use a color closer to the rest of the string, to reduce contrast
On my normal machine, 'peach' harmonizes nicely with 'brightgreen',
but on another there is a large, jarring contrast.

0e1d45dc36 tweaks: fold some regexes together, and trim or improve some comments
Also, trim some whitespace and group one rule better.

Also, fix a stray closing parenthesis in the JSON syntax,
and add the missing slash to the possible escaped characters.
(Reference: https://www.json.org/json-en.html.)

Also, improve the ending of multiline strings in the Rust syntax.

485eb18d83 syntaxes: use one regex for coloring quoted strings, to avoid overlap
Quoted strings cannot start within another quoted string and end after
that other string has ended.  Therefore single-quoted and double-quoted
strings should (as much as possible) be colorized by a single rule, so
that overlapping colorations are avoided.

(This also fixes a double typo in the PHP syntax (\. --> \\.) that has
been there since the PHP syntax was added in 2008, commit 90ee8ee4.)

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61387.

Bug existed since each of these syntaxes was introduced,
the oldest ones around 2006, a few others around 2015.

The one that got it right was the Lua syntax from 2011.

302ea79d1c syntaxes: put the 'linter' and 'formatter' commands on a separate line
To show that they are a different class of thing than the file-matching
regexes and the comment thing, which all kind of "describe" the file.

8f1cd50f1e syntax: python: avoid miscoloring stuff between two empty strings
The quotes of an empty string ('' or "") should be colored just like
those of a non-empty string, because otherwise the text *between* two
empty strings on the same line gets colored.

Add an extra rule to discolor triple quotes again to not make them
look like valid by themselves.

Also, remove six superfluous backslashes.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?9801.

790f98560b syntax: python: do not highlight 'print' and 'exec' in Python 3
Assume that 'print' and 'exec' are statements when they are followed
by whitespace, and are functions otherwise.  This does not highlight
"print'x'" nor "print{x}", but these statements are poor style.

c524fbe6d0 tweaks: remove some ineffectual parts from header-line regexes
Adding "[abc]*" does not restrict the recognized header line in any way.

Also, improve the header-line regex for shell scripts, because it should
not match "barunscript" (for example).

3e1fc6385b syntaxes: remove quotes from each syntax name, and color it differently
The different color will make the name stand out, as it should, instead
of looking the same as all the regex strings.

bacb0f717d syntax: adjust the magic strings for the changes since file-5.10
Since file-5.10 (end of 2011), libmagic identifies a C file in most
cases as "C source" instead of as "C program".  Nano's magic strings
for some other files didn't match any more what file-5.32 currently
produces, either.  So, they have been adjusted, new ones added, and
old ones deleted.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52445.

884d410d9d syntax: python: don't require a character after an opening triple quote
The succeeding character was needed to avoid miscolorings due to nano
getting confused about starts and ends.  But since commit 7ef5c532,
nano should be getting the starts and ends always right, so... undo
"temporary" commit 7b2ea405 from two years ago.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51526.
