Mention some things that really set nano apart from Pico.
Plus some other small tweaks here and there.

The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

This addresses a followup of https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50362

There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)

Also replace some backslashed spaces because they hinder the
justification of the man page.

It can be activated with --linenumbers on the command line or with
'set linenumbers' in a nanorc file, and it can be toggled with M-#.

This lets users of braille displays find the selected item immediately.

This fulfills a request by Enrico Mioso.
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2016-09/msg00025.html.

And hard-bind the keys Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to these functions.

Unlike the paragraph-jumping code, these new functions disregard
any indentation, treating only blank lines as separators.  They
also do an automatic smart home when that option is set.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48291.

This allows the user to specify which other characters, besides the
default alphanumeric ones, should be considered as part of a word, so
that word operations like Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right will pass them by.

Using this option overrides the option --wordbounds.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47283.

The negatives are taken to mean: from the end of the file,
and: from the end of the line.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48248.

This allows for commenting or uncommenting a line or a bunch of lines
with a single keystroke (default binding: M-3).  The characters used
for commenting/uncommenting are specified by the active syntax file.

With this option, nano would simply refuse to write to any symlinked file;
if anyone really used this option, they would certainly have complained.
