docs: do not quote the argument of 'include' statements in sample nanorc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.

On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console). Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

docs: make ^E access the Execute menu in the example CUA bindings
...
Also, add the normal CUA bindings for Undo (^Z) and Redo (^Y),
and drop the M-X thinko.
With these more "usual" alternative bindings, ^X will now do a Cut
(putting the cut text into the cutbuffer) only when in the main menu
-- in the other places it did not put anything into the cutbuffer,
so it's better to have only the default ^K ("kill") for that.
Suspension is now accessible with ^E^Z, and the Speller with ^E^S.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60766 .
