076eb6f6af docs: mention that a negative number after "+" counts from the end 
A negative line number given on the command line counts from the end
of the relevant file (-1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
and a negative column number from the end of the relevant line.

The feature was added in version 2.8.5 but not mentioned in the manual.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57342.

98b1f8f059 options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q 
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible.  We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.

Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated

ae3ec1784d options: add --zap, that makes <Bsp> and <Del> erase a marked region 
Using --zap or -Z on the command line, or 'set zap' in a nanorc file,
makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837.

probably it is more common to use the Ctrl key together with Shift
to select larger pieces of text.  So mention this possibility.

3628863f90 docs: remove mention of the quotestr for when regex support is lacking

lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.

Also, remove some superfluous backslashes, use a non-breaking space
in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.
