Michalis Kokologiannakis ed76a045ae tweaks: move the backup code to a separate function
This change moves the code responsible for backup creation to a new,
separate function, backup_file().  This function returns a boolean
indicating whether saving the buffer should proceed or not.

Benno Schulenberg 2e4d78a714 tweaks: fold translation of all modified keypad keystrokes together
The escape-sequence codes for the different keypad keys are simply
the relevant ASCII code plus 0x40, so they are easy to translate.

Also, do not accept keypad keys with multiple modifiers (Shift+Alt,
Shift+Ctrl, Alt+Ctrl, Shift+Alt+Ctrl) -- report "Unknown sequence"
for those.

Benno Schulenberg 476c838753 bindings: allow typing digits on the numeric keypad by holding Shift
Until now, on an xterm, Shift plus any keypad key would say
"Unknown sequence", which is not useful.  On other terminal
emulators (urxvt, Pantheon, LXTerminal), Shift plus a keypad
key already produces the relevant digit or symbol, so this
change harmonizes the behavior of the different emulators.

However, on a Linux console, Shift plus a keypad key moves
the cursor and selects the text that is passed over.  And
holding Alt while pressing a keypad key does nothing at all.

Benno Schulenberg ecb4dac494 bindings: stop <Alt+operator> on the keypad from entering spurious letter
For the operator keys on the numeric keypad (/, *, -, and +),
make both the Alt and the Ctrl modifier a no-op.

Benno Schulenberg 95df7dbc8e tweaks: correct some comments, as VT100 and such have smaller keypads
The DEC VTnnn terminals only have period, comma, and minus on the
numeric keypad, not slash nor star nor plus nor Insert nor Delete.

Michalis Kokologiannakis a84cdaaa50 files: improve the backup procedure to ensure no data is lost
The file-saving procedure that nano followed was not crash-safe
under ext4 (and perhaps other filesystems) when editing existing
files.  Specifically, modifying an existing file could lead to data
loss, since a modified file is not replaced atomically on disk.
Using "-B" did not ensure crash-safety either since the backup might
not have persisted on disk when the writeout of the file started.

In addition, if I/O pressure filled up the remaining disk space
after an existing file is truncated during save, nano would not
be able to finish saving the file, which would remain truncated.

This change addresses these issues by making nano do the following:

1) Make a temporary backup of the file being written so that there
is no time window such that (a) an existing file is truncated, and
(b) the buffer corresponding to said file has not been flushed to
disk.  Such time windows are dangerous because, under certain
circumstances, they can lead to data loss on some filesystems.

The backup is made by copying the original file, and a second
attempt to HOME is made in case that first copy fails.

2) Use fsync() so that, when the save finishes, it is certain
that the file has been successfully written to disk.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58642.

Benno Schulenberg 5899181a31 verbatim: show an error message when an invalid Unicode code is entered
The codes from (for example) U+D800 to U+DFFF are invalid.  If any
such invalid code is entered at the Unicode Input prompt, nano should
not act as if the code was accepted and inserted into the buffer, and
should certainly not mark the buffer as Modified.

keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.

Benno Schulenberg 13327203e0 build: use a more dependable method for detecting a build from git
The Haiku recipe seems to detect a .git directory somewhere, even though
they are building from a tarball.  So, check instead for the presence of
nano's release script, which ought to be present only in a git checkout,
not in a released tarball.

Benno Schulenberg 712f68c697 options: add -O/--bookstyle to make leading whitespace mean new paragraph
Before version 2.9.8, nano would consider any line that started with
leading whitespace as the beginning of a new paragraph, and would thus
be unable to justify an indented piece of text (unless autoindent was
switched on).  I thought that this was too limiting and changed the
way nano detects and parses paragraphs.  It works fine in texts where
paragraphs occupy multiple lines, but breaks down for paragraphs of
a single line: nano merges those with adjoining lines.

Now, when -O or --bookstyle or 'set bookstyle' is used, nano will again
consider a line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph
-- when 'autoindent' is OFF.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57402.

Benno Schulenberg 009fb2fae6 tweaks: make three hard-bindings of special keys more efficiently
Instead of calling a function that tries to find the relevant operation,
just add three hidden hard-bindings at the end of the shortcuts list.

They are hidden because we don't want them to show up in the help text,
because we don't know what to call them (as a Cancel and Suspend key
don't exist on normal keyboards) or naming the key would be confusing
(Sh-Ins is grabbed by the desktop manager and doesn't reach nano).
