If the user uses a single version of nano, they have no need for
--quiet. If they do sometimes use an older version and don't want
to see the warnings, they can use 2>/dev/null (they could make an
alias for that and put it before the call of nano).

docs: document the more everyday names of three bindable functions
...
List "browser", "pageup" and "pagedown" in the manuals; the first
because it matches "speller", and the latter two because they are
what these functions are commonly known by. The names "tofiles",
"prevpage" and "nextpage" are now undocumented, but they are still
recognized by the code, as they match the tags for these functions.

bindings: make ^Q and ^S do something useful by default

^S will be the first thing people will try for saving a file,
and ^Q is somewhat mnemonic because it is to the left of ^W:
it searches backward.
Make these keystrokes available also in the tiny version.

new feature: allow lines to be softwrapped at whitespace
...
Extend get_softwrap_breakpoint() to break softwrapped lines on
whitespace when a flag is set. This flag is controlled by the new
rcfile option "atblanks". The '>' characters marking two-column
characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.
If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge. (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49959 .
