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.

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

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.

e7491920fd docs: explain how to include a double quote plus space in a nanorc regex 
As double-quote-plus-space indicates the end of a regular expression
in a nanorc file, the inclusion of this combination *in* a regular
expression requires breaking the juxtaposition of the two, which
can be achieved by putting either of them between square brackets.

(It can also be achieved by preceding the space with a backslash,
which is shorter, but... the above method is more symmetrical.)

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62997.
