In many places a carriage return is not valid whitespace and should
thus not be colored as such. In some of these places a vertical tab
or form feed is maybe valid whitespace, but it would be ugly or even
wrong to color them because they are not part of the subsequent
comment or keyword.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60456.
The regcomp() function from glibc-2.27 (and older) considers the
bracket expression ['-.] to be invalid -- mistakenly. Avoid using
any range expression in the relevant regex and instead enumerate
all acceptable characters.
This avoids https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56766.
And generally improve the regex for coloring Perl variable names.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56713.

Bug existed since the Perl syntax was introduced,
in version 1.2.2, commit 70047eef.
Require that a comment starts at the start of a line or is preceded by
whitespace. This prevents most hash signs used for other purposes (and
what follows them) getting colored as comments.
Adding "[abc]*" does not restrict the recognized header line in any way.
Also, improve the header-line regex for shell scripts, because it should
not match "barunscript" (for example).
Since file-5.10 (end of 2011), libmagic identifies a C file in most
cases as "C source" instead of as "C program". Nano's magic strings
for some other files didn't match any more what file-5.32 currently
produces, either. So, they have been adjusted, new ones added, and
old ones deleted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52445.
