tweaks: move the --magic option up, so that --zero comes last
...
This makes that the three options that change the default layout
of the interface (--stateflags, --minibar, --zero) come last.
Also, sort the option letters into a consistent order in the code.

docs: avoid large Table of Contents at top of HTML version of manual
...
Texinfo-6.8 (that was used to build the docs of nano-5.9) changed
the way the @contents command is processed for HTML output, with as
result a detailed table of contents at the start of the HTML page.
That is ugly and too much detail. To avoid that, produce a table
of contents only when generating output meant for printing.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61344 .
Bug existed since version 5.9.

What @* does is guesswork when you don't use Texinfo regularly.
That the "sp" in the @sp command refers to vertical space is not
very clear either, but the command is used on nearby lines too,
so better use it more.
Also, improve two wordings and fix a four-year old typo.
