Those versions are more than five years old. If there are still
machines with those versions, people should upgrade ncurses too
if they want the newest version of nano.
Trying to determine which syntax to apply with the help of libmagic
can be a somewhat time-consuming and yet often still fruitless affair.
Therefore using libmagic should not be the default; it should require
an option to tell nano to try using libmagic when it can't determine
the applicable syntax from the file's name or first line.
This is better than having a --nomagic option (and using libmagic by
default), because when the user has 'set nomagic' in their nanorc or
--nomagic in their alias, then switching the use of libmagic back on
is troublesome. But with --magic (and not using libmagic by default),
when nano fails to recognize a file, it is a simple ^X, add -! to the
command line, and restart.
The short form of the option is -! because we have run out of letters.

Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly. And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

When a file is saved under a different name, and as a result the
applicable syntax changes, and the old syntax had multiline regexes
and the new syntax doesn't, then the call of precalc_multicolorinfo()
in write_file() should not result in nano setting up a multicache of
zero bytes for each line in the buffer.
(Problem was found by locally letting nano crash when zero bytes are
allocated, and then happening to rename a file.py to a file.sh.)
When set_colorpairs() is called, no files have been loaded yet, so
no syntaxes will have been loaded yet either. Thus it is pointless
to run through the list of available syntaxes.
Its major function is to find an applicable syntax, if there is any.
And if the syntax hasn't been used before, to prime its color pairs.
Also, reshuffle a line to be able to elide an #ifdef.
A short allows for more than 32 thousand values, and the maximum number
of multiline regexes in any of the current syntaxes is... just four.
Reshuffle it to the beginning also because it is used the most often.
When the user specified an absolute path... it is NOT relative to the
current working directory.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56902.

Bug existed since version 2.4.2, commit ec8d51be.
When a syntax gets parsed, store the compiled color regexes right away,
instead of compiling them a second time in color_update().

When parsing an included syntax file, stop reading when a command other
than 'syntax', 'header' or 'magic' is encountered. The syntax file is
fully parsed the first time that a file needs it. Each 'extendsyntax'
command is stored for unloaded syntaxes and applied after the syntax
is loaded.
Closing a buffer does not unload the syntax, even if no longer used by
another buffer.

All tested systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Alpine, and Ubuntu)
support the GNU-style word boundaries (\< and \>), either natively
or through using the regex module from gnulib.
If this change breaks regexes containing \< or \> on your system,
please report a bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano
