tweaks: reshuffle an option, to have two related ones grouped together
...
Options --stateflags and --minibar are slightly related; it looks
better to not have them separated by an unrelated option.

rcfile: rename 'nowrap' toggle to 'breaklonglines', to match the option

Now all toggle functions have the same name as their corresponding
long command-line option. Also, all names now indicate the effect
of the toggle when it is invoked from a default setting.

docs: use standard-compliant HTML entities for the four arrows

HTML 4 knows only the four-letter abbreviations for the arrows.

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.

TERM to vt100 is unlikely to make the more complicated keystrokes work,
which are the ones that are most likely not to work.

scrolling: add a function and a key binding to center the cursor line

By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful. To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.
