docs: improve the description of the 'flipexecute' bindable function

It is bindable only in the Insert menu -- in the Execute menu it has
a "blind", unadvertised binding (because I consider toggling between
menus somewhat of a misfeature).

docs: explain how to include a double quote plus space in a nanorc regex
...
As double-quote-plus-space indicates the end of a regular expression
in a nanorc file, the inclusion of this combination *in* a regular
expression requires breaking the juxtaposition of the two, which
can be achieved by putting either of them between square brackets.
(It can also be achieved by preceding the space with a backslash,
which is shorter, but... the above method is more symmetrical.)

It has been more than three years since version 4.0 was released,
the moment that the defaults for line wrapping, smooth scrolling,
and the size of the editing window were changed.
Keep the note in the texi manual, though, as it is less in the way,
and the manual generally contains more info than the man pages.
