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.

18a40caa48 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.
