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.

ddd033adaf docs: remove a no-longer-needed suggestion from the sample nanorc
It would result in having both <Delete> and <Backspace> behaving as
Backspace, which seems senseless -- unless the <Delete> key produces
ASCII DEL and --rebinddelete is needed to make it behave as Delete.
In the latter case it would make more sense if --rebinddelete made
both rebindings: ASCII DEL to Delete and KEY_DC to Backspace, like
it used to be in the distant past, before commit 79a33bb3.

d04c8f88f1 docs: say that 'cutwordright' is now bound to <Ctrl+Delete> by default
Also, suggest to rebind ^H to 'cutwordleft' so that <Ctrl+Backspace>

856322b01e main: interpret only a double slash (//) as quoting, not a single one
Otherwise the first line of a multiline /*...*/-comment would be
seen as quoted and thus *not* as the first line of a paragraph.

In the code, use "/{2}" to prevent the remainder of the line
getting colored as a comment.

3628863f90 docs: remove mention of the quotestr for when regex support is lacking
Since version 2.8.0, nano will use (wnen needed) the regex routines
from gnulib, so mentioning the quotestr for when regex support is
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.

858663444e new feature: an option to make the 'nextword' function stop at word ends
When 'afterends' is set and Ctrl+Right or Shift+Ctrl+Right is pressed,
nano will stop at the ends of words instead of their beginnings.

c3a11fb7ed options: remove '--quiet' and 'set quiet', because they hide problems
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).

ba65cd48cc bindings: make ^Q and ^S do something useful by default

bb4d0d548a 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.
