076eb6f6af docs: mention that a negative number after "+" counts from the end
A negative line number given on the command line counts from the end
of the relevant file (-1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
and a negative column number from the end of the relevant line.

The feature was added in version 2.8.5 but not mentioned in the manual.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57342.

a1375474d9 docs: remove the AUTHOR section, per advice from 'man man-pages'
Also because most of nano has meanwhile been written by other people
than Chris.  And because authorship is meta-information, irrelevant
for knowing how to operate nano.

98b1f8f059 options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible.  We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.

Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

dc99610c36 docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences
It's not just about the numeric keypad, but about the interpretation
of all editing keys (arrows, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, and
Delete), of the escape sequences that they produce.

67c69b2298 options: rename long version of -K from --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences
To better describe what it does, and to have full contrast with the
--rebinddelete option: the latter can now be shortened to --rebind
without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.

3121ee4b2e options: stop recognizing and mentioning --quiet and 'set quiet'
Those options have been a no-op and obsolete for over a year.

Just continue to accept and ignore -q, for some "compatibility"
with Pico.

ae3ec1784d options: add --zap, that makes <Bsp> and <Del> erase a marked region
Using --zap or -Z on the command line, or 'set zap' in a nanorc file,
makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837.
