Benno Schulenberg 856322b01e main: interpret only a double slash (//) as quoting, not a single one
Otherwise the first line of a multiline /*...*/-comment would be
seen as quoted and thus *not* as the first line of a paragraph.

In the code, use "/{2}" to prevent the remainder of the line
getting colored as a comment.

Benno Schulenberg 299e710845 docs, usage: make it clear that the argument of --quotestr is a regex
In the past, the argument could be either a regex or a literal string,
so the wording was kind of vague.  But nowadays we can count on having
regex support (through gnulib), so be more precise in the description.

Benno Schulenberg 3628863f90 docs: remove mention of the quotestr for when regex support is lacking
Since version 2.8.0, nano will use (wnen needed) the regex routines
from gnulib, so mentioning the quotestr for when regex support is
lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.

Also, remove some superfluous backslashes, use a non-breaking space
in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.

Benno Schulenberg 4d92dffb3a bindings: rename constupdate to constantshow, cuttoend to cutfromcursor

Benno Schulenberg c3a11fb7ed options: remove '--quiet' and 'set quiet', because they hide problems
If the user uses a single version of nano, they have no need for
--quiet.  If they do sometimes use an older version and don't want
to see the warnings, they can use 2>/dev/null (they could make an
alias for that and put it before the call of nano).
