ebddb49041 docs: do not quote the argument of 'include' statements in sample nanorc 
This avoids those arguments getting colorized as if they were regexes
(when the relevant lines are uncommented), and instead allows them to
get colorized in bold purple by a dedicated rule.

77a8841d25 tweaks: elide unhelpful occurrences of the word "will" 
In most cases, "will" is just a filler word and doesn't improve clarity.

And in the bargain improve two descriptions.

3809c67bb2 docs: add the Alt+Home/Alt+End shortcuts to the cheatsheet 
Also, reshuffle Alt+T for balance, slightly reword the description
of Alt+A (as it differs in nature from the other toggles), and add
some spaces for better alignment.

dff779e3ad tweaks: in FAQ, use 'id' attribute instead of empty anchor with 'name' 
The 'name' attribute for the <a> tag is deprecated -- 'id' is the
standard attribute that can be used in almost every tag.

6be1f7e95a docs: avert hyphenation of the technical words "ncurses" and "terminfo" 
This prevents an observed wrong hyphenation: "ter-minfo".

Also, add markup for "terminfo", like "ncurses" already has.

0c2caa50cc docs: correct the description of --bold, as function tags are unaffected 
The succinct function descriptions in the help lines are not shown in
reverse video by default, so they are not bolded by -D/--bold either.

Also, mention 'promptcolor' and 'minicolor' where they were missing.

b9449de5cf docs: improve the description of the 'flipexecute' bindable function 
It is bindable only in the Insert menu -- in the Execute menu it has
a "blind", unadvertised binding (because I consider toggling between
menus somewhat of a misfeature).

75b312ded1 revert the previous commit -- forget about -? as a synonym for --help 
An ambiguous option like --back or --word would cause nano to spew
the entire help text.  It should do the latter only when the user
explicitly requests it.

e65b0ba654 options: add -? as a synonym of -h (--help) 
The short option '-?' was removed nine years ago in commit 43019189,
then restored six years later in 5bd92d4c, and then removed again two
months later in 743100fe due to getopt() returning '?' for options
that aren't recognized, preventing the use of '-?' as a valid option.

However, getopt() provides a way to check for unrecognized options
via the 'optopt' variable, which gets set only for invalid options.

7f17777a4b docs: mention that a restricted nano does not access the history files 
With some imagination, the lack of access could be inferred from the
other descriptions, but it's much better to be clear and explicit.

Also, separate two items that are unrelated and reshuffle them into
a neater order.
