The regcomp() function from glibc-2.27 (and older) considers the
bracket expression ['-.] to be invalid -- mistakenly. Avoid using
any range expression in the relevant regex and instead enumerate
all acceptable characters.
This avoids https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56766.
And generally improve the regex for coloring Perl variable names.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56713.

Bug existed since the Perl syntax was introduced,
in version 1.2.2, commit 70047eef.
Require that a comment starts at the start of a line or is preceded by
whitespace. This prevents most hash signs used for other purposes (and
what follows them) getting colored as comments.
Adding "[abc]*" does not restrict the recognized header line in any way.
Also, improve the header-line regex for shell scripts, because it should
not match "barunscript" (for example).
Since file-5.10 (end of 2011), libmagic identifies a C file in most
cases as "C source" instead of as "C program". Nano's magic strings
for some other files didn't match any more what file-5.32 currently
produces, either. So, they have been adjusted, new ones added, and
old ones deleted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52445.
