This "holder" information is needed for every cut and paste and other
block operation. Instead of allocating and freeing it for every such
operation, just have the six elements as static variables. This saves
a little churn, and saves having to declare a type that is used just
once. Plus, the access to these variables will be a little quicker.
When a syntax gets parsed, store the compiled color regexes right away,
instead of compiling them a second time in color_update().

The /etc/nanorc file should not define any syntax directly (and
preferably not include any either, to not slow startup down with
syntaxes the user is never going to use), and if the ~/.nanorc file
defines a syntax directly, there is no need to use 'extendsyntax':
the command can be added to the syntax itself -- it would be better
even: it keeps things together.
Extending a syntax will be rather rare, so the amount of memory it
takes up will be minimal. It's not worth the trouble to free this
memory -- it only takes time. Plus: we don't bother to free the
memory of a syntax that gets fully redefined either.
When an included file has just been fully parsed, 'lastcolor' is still
pointing at the last color regex that was added to the list -- no need
to refind the end of this list.
Add a temporary boolean for this, because isendwin() returns TRUE
only when curses mode has actually been started with initscr() and
then exited with endwin().
The sphere, the holder, is everything *around* the partition;
it was confusing to call this holder type 'partition'.
Also correct and improve some comments.
There is no need to save, clear, and restore the mark when counting
words, lines and characters, because partitioning and unpartitioning
the buffer does not use the mark nor affect it.
Now M-D will report 0 lines instead of 1 line for an empty buffer, and
will match the output of 'wc --lines' as long the file is a POSIX file.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56054.
Bug existed since before version 2.1.10.
For this one quick switch back and forth there is no need to report
anything on the status bar nor to update colors and such. In this
case, those things are just a waste of time.
The extra things that close_buffer() did are only needed and useful
when manually closing a buffer, so move them there. The other three
calls of close_buffer() only need to get rid of the current buffer
(making the preceding buffer the new current one) and nothing else.
When a help-text buffer is closed while exiting from the help viewer,
the rest of the exit code takes care that the preceding buffer gets
displayed properly. And when a help-text buffer is closed because a
SIGWINCH occurred, doing anything for the preceding buffer is a waste
of time because a new help-text buffer will be opened and displayed
instantly.
