f442f91187 bindings: rename 'prevhistory' to 'older' and 'nexthistory' to 'newer'
Rename not only the bindable functions, but more importantly reword the
tags that are shown for ^P and ^N in the help lines: "Older" / "Newer",
because these are clearer and not awkward abbreviations.

63b15275bd bindings: remove the More-Space toggle entirely
It is so unlikely that a user will want to bind it that it
just clutters the help text (and the documentation).

772c324f25 bindings: remove backup and new-buffer toggles (M-B, M-F) from main menu
These are available in the menus where they are relevant: the Write-Out
and the Insert menu, respectively.  Having them duplicated in the main
menu is inconsistent and eats precious keystrokes.  (Sorry, Chris.)

bc42ae42a9 docs: the 'noconvert' bindable function was renamed to 'flipconvert'
Also, move it to sit with the other toggles of the Insert menu, and
remove its mention from among the main-menu toggles.

975b491235 dropping a feature: remove the ability to use the 'formatter' command
Since the last version, the user can filter an entire buffer through
an external command.  This external command can also be a formatting
program, so there is no longer any need for this specific and special
formatter command.

9a47a9c4c0 rcfile, docs: no longer recognize nor mention 'set backwards'
The option has been a no-op since 2.9.0.  And now that the
^W/^Q/M-W/M-Q set is available, 'set backwards' is entirely
outdated.

eb84205426 bindings: rename two bindable functions: copytext to copy, uncut to paste
To match the common names used for these functions, for consistency,
and because 'uncut' sounds too much like "undo the cut".

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.

299e710845 docs, usage: make it clear that the argument of --quotestr is a regex
In the past, the argument could be either a regex or a literal string,
so the wording was kind of vague.  But nowadays we can count on having
regex support (through gnulib), so be more precise in the description.

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.

nano will stop at the ends of words instead of their beginnings.
