2b335060b0 feedback: suppress format-conversion messages for --zero and --mini
A "Read xx lines (converted from...)" message should be suppressed when
--zero or --minibar are active (just like the normal "Read xx lines"),
as otherwise it gets shown at a confusing moment when multiple files
are opened at the same time.  The message should get shown, however,
when inserting a file into the current buffer.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65560.

8610857015 feedback: drop an unnecessary warning, to not bother the user
The idea of the warning was that `row < 0 || row >= editwinrows` would
never be true: that the check was redundant and could be removed.

As it appears to be too hard to make sure in advance that a chunk will
not fall outside the viewport, just drop the warning and leave the check
in place.

This also addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64168.

c2322f8563 display: draw a new magic line rightaway when there are multiline regexes
Drawing a line will allocate multidata for it (even when the line is
actually empty), so that this multidata will not be missing later on
when the next line gets drawn in the same burst of keystrokes.

(This also removes the triggering of a full refresh when line numbers
are active: only the new magic line needs to be additionally drawn, in
order to get the line number printed.)

6351dab3e6 bindings: let M-" place/remove an anchor, and let M-' jump to one
On my current laptop, typing <Alt+Insert> is awkward because it requires
holding down <Fn> too.  Also, M-" and M-' are in the normal symbols area
of the keyboard, which makes them easier to type and more discoverable.
Furthermore, being next to M-: and M-; (on a US keyboard) reinforces the
meanings: start/place, stop/remove, run/goto.

3fb8efc8f2 input: prevent 'macro_length' from underflowing when hammering M-:
Normally, when recording a macro, users will make their keystrokes
slowly and carefully, and will most likely wait to see the effect
of the previous keystroke before making the next.  So, the chances
of two `recordmacro` keystrokes coming in in quick succession is
normally nil.  The 'macro_length' variable just needs a guard to
prevent it from underflowing when someone is hammering the keys.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65394 in a better way.

9f1431be17 justify: keep as much of the marked region onscreen as possible
When the justified region fits in its entirety onscreen, then it should
be shown in its entirety, because the user is probably curious what the
region looks like after justification.  This behavior will mean that
the line above the topline of the screen will still have multidata
(when the syntax has multiline regexes).  When the justified region
does not fit onscreen, then as much as possible should be shown --
meaning that the cursor should be either at the top or the bottom
of the viewport, meaning that it should not be centered.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65482.
The issue was reported by `correctmost`.

Bug existed since version 4.0, since justifying a region was introduced.

e1c6ae7cf3 justify: keep the cursor at the original end of a marked region
When justifying a region that was marked backwards, the cursor
should stay at the beginning of this region.  The old logic was
faulty because mark_is_before_cursor() does not give the correct
result *after* the justification has been done: for some reason
the mark ends up always before the cursor.

Bug existed since version 5.2, commit 0f8423eb,
which mistakenly removed the auxiliary variable.  :/

fdd92af3ac display: add a wnoutrefresh() call for NetBSD, to force a cursor update

the cursor.  Ncurses does not need this.

170e7d79e7 tweaks: express an 'if' more concisely, and add two blank lines

needed because things have been written to the screen in the preceding
code -- although nano seems to work correctly also without those calls.

a13cd6a177 execute: show "Older" and "Newer" in the help lines, to allow rebinding
Since commits c8363a0d and a75bf0a1 from seven years ago, the Execute
menu permits retrieving previously executed commands, but the help text
and help lines never showed the corresponding keystrokes.

Four years ago commit d3954901 made the Execute menu directly accessible,
but I preferred to not mention the ^P/^N keystrokes in the help lines,
to leave as much space as possible for the executable functions (added
in subsequent commits), thinking that no one would want to rebind those
keystrokes anyway, as the Up/Down arrows seem more logical and easier.
