Also, be more complete, reword a few things, and stop mentioning Slang.

b9d6d547b8 bindings: accept b for scrolling back up in help viewer and file browser
Like in Dillo, and because it could be mnemonic for "Back" and
is directly above the space bar (in a QWERTY layout, at least).

622b031e27 docs: use standard-compliant HTML entities for the four arrows
HTML 4 knows only the four-letter abbreviations for the arrows.
Use those, so that also browsers with very limited knowledge
(like Dillo) will show the arrows correctly.

f660f22623 tweaks: slightly shorten a loop, to place the actual action outside of it
And in the bargain elide a variable, and make it clearer
what the return value is at two early exit points.

[This change makes use of the fact that TRUE (successful write) == 1
and FALSE (failed write) == 0.  But this is already used twenty lines
earlier, for the other call of write_file().]

2e9fb7d840 build: exclude option --tabsize (-T) from the tiny version
An unneeded option when wanting nano to be small.  Excluding it saves
roughly 120 bytes.  It also makes the output of --help nice and clean.

a4e3d88c67 version: remove URL and email address from the --version output
Web links and email addresses do not belong in the version information.
This has bothered me for a long time.  The URL is in the man page, and
bug reports should go to Savannah.

d2869ab348 build: include some raw sequences for the graphical Debian installer
The terminal window in the graphical Debian installer (the default)
produces the same escape sequences as xterm for F1 to F4.  Though
TERM is set to xterm, the xterm terminfo data is not available, so
ncurses is unable to translate the sequences for us.  :|  Therefore,
recognize the relevant raw escape sequences.

Also, eat all bytes of the non-recognized modified function and arrow
keys, so that they do not enter junk into the buffer.

072c8aa39b options: move --stateflags (-%) and --magic (-!) to the end of the list
It's nicer to start the list with -A, -B, -C.  And, when the user
does 'nano --help', these new flags are more likely to be noticed.

5bd92d4c60 options: add -? as a synonym of -h (--help), but leave it undocumented
This option was lost six years ago in commit 43019189, without giving a
reason for it.  It's not really needed, but it doesn't hurt to have it.

3f938e29b6 build: exclude bunches of raw escape sequences from the tiny version
The tiny version is probably only ever used in the Debian installer,
on the bterm terminal, which produces escape sequences like those of
a Linux console.  So, exclude all other raw sequences.

(After support for Slang has been removed, we can maybe even exclude
ALL raw sequences from the tiny version, and the corresponding option
(-K/--rawsequences) too.)

51b9e86d13 tweaks: remove mistaken escape sequences for function keys on xterm
At least since version 229 of xterm (from August 2007), the escape
sequences for F1 to F4 have been "Esc O P" to "Esc O S".  There is
no bracket in those sequences, and there probably never was -- most
likely the extra "[" in nano's code was a slip of the fingers.

58a3293efc options: require --magic or 'set magic' to enable the use of libmagic
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.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59028.

d679bbc802 new feature: option --stateflags to show some states in top-right corner
With --stateflags (short form: -%) or 'set stateflags', nano reserves
the righthand end of the title bar not for showing "Modified" but for
showing the state of auto-indentation (I), the mark (M), the breaking
of long lines (L), macro recording (R), and softwrapping (S).

When the buffer is modified, this is indicated with a star (*) after
the file name (shown in the center of the title bar).

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57953.
