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.

recentl. Move it to the NOTES section.

docs: avoid large Table of Contents at top of HTML version of manual
...
Texinfo-6.8 (that was used to build the docs of nano-5.9) changed
the way the @contents command is processed for HTML output, with as
result a detailed table of contents at the start of the HTML page.
That is ugly and too much detail. To avoid that, produce a table
of contents only when generating output meant for printing.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61344 .
Bug existed since version 5.9.

tweaks: replace the obscure @* with the slightly clearer @sp
...
What @* does is guesswork when you don't use Texinfo regularly.
That the "sp" in the @sp command refers to vertical space is not
very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,
so better use it more.
Also, improve two wordings and fix a four-year old typo.
