docs: list the default color combo for 'spotlightcolor' in sample nanorc
...
The comment says that only 'errorcolor' and 'spotlightcolor' have
a default value. Better list the default value for both of them.

docs: don't use "light" after "bold", as the latter often implies "light"
...
On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console). Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

docs: make ^E access the Execute menu in the example CUA bindings
...
Also, add the normal CUA bindings for Undo (^Z) and Redo (^Y),
and drop the M-X thinko.
With these more "usual" alternative bindings, ^X will now do a Cut
(putting the cut text into the cutbuffer) only when in the main menu
-- in the other places it did not put anything into the cutbuffer,
so it's better to have only the default ^K ("kill") for that.
Suspension is now accessible with ^E^Z, and the Speller with ^E^S.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60766 .

A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.
