bindings: remove the jumpy-scrolling toggle entirely
...
It is still possible to use --jumpyscrolling on the command line or
'set jumpyscrolling' in a nanorc file, but a user will have to restart
nano when they decide they want chunky instead of smooth scrolling,
a decision that should be rather rare.
This frees up the M-S keystroke to be reused for toggling softwrap.

to simply --raw and still make sense.

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 .

because these are clearer and not awkward abbreviations.
