42ae3e377f docs: mention some more differences with Pico in the Info document
Mention the ability to use <Tab> in the search history, the ability
to restore the cursor position when reopening a file, the ability to
read output of a command, and the lack of file-managing commands in
the file browser.

7fac9ec51c docs: mention the ability to read from stdin
Also, remove the special "+line,column" argument from among the options,
since it isn't an option -- put it in a separate paragraph instead.

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.

6981294c9d build: move all documentation into a single directory
There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(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.

eb68cd1c6b syntax: avoid using black colors
We should avoid defining color schemes that are unreadable on common
white-on-black or black-on-white terminals.  Change the black in the
autoconf error strings to brightred for that reason.

e472b72565 syntax: gentoo: various updates
- make version highlight less blindly greedy and conform to real versions
- move version matching before USE matching to avoid hitting USE flags
  that look like versions
- change USE regex to match the Gentoo PMS
- extend arch match to include more keywords
- make category matching more restrictive to avoid false positives
- drop operators =< and => that Gentoo doesn't support
