754c62c5cc copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

54e6fe2b4a build: install the Info and Html manuals even when 'makeinfo' is missing
If the system on which nano is configured does not have the 'makeinfo'
program installed, the prebuilt and packaged nano.info and nano.html
should nevertheless be installed.

Also, the TEXINFOS primary has built-in rules for generating HTML files
from the texinfo sources, so an explicit rule is not needed.

This indirectly addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49969.

it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)

68a0314500 build: add configure option --disable-wordcomp to disable word completion
(The variable 'pletion_line' is not conditionalized with this option, as
it would become messy.  The compiler will probably be able to elide it.)

When using --enable-tiny, it is not possible to use --enable-wordcomp,
because the word completion function uses the undo system.
