Benno Schulenberg 3690d60b71 rcfile: rename bindable function 'suspendenable' to 'suspendable'
The name of a toggle function should match the name of the corresponding
option, like for 'mouse' and 'linenumbers' and 'smarthome' and such.

Benno Schulenberg 639f37669a docs: remove the note saying that nanorc files must be in Unix format

Benno Schulenberg d141e849a3 tweaks: unabbreviate "argument" in the documentation
Also, show that the argument in the extendsyntax format is not optional,
as any command requires at least one argument.  Also mention 'tabgives'
among the commands that are allowed in an included file.

Benno Schulenberg 4281b6becb commands: rename 'fixer' to 'formatter', to be less misleading
The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able
to fix mistakes or correct errors.  Especially when seen next to
"linter", it sounds as if one does a syntax check and the other
fixes the found mistakes.  (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)

Benno Schulenberg f813fd0f4d rcfile: allow binding also F17...F24
For historical reasons the rebinding code allows binding F13...F16,
which on most terminals are typable with Shift plus F1...F4.  But,
at least on an Xfce Terminal, Shift plus F1...F12 produce F13...F24.
On a Linux console, Shift plus F1...F8 produce F13...F20.  So: allow
to bind the full shifted F13...F24 range.  It costs no extra code
and makes things more rounded.

Benno Schulenberg e90b40e651 docs: add a note saying that rebinding ^M or ^I is not advisable
Also say that rebinding ^H is sometimes impossible, or when it's
made possible, that it rebinds the Backspace key too.

Benno Schulenberg 82f1ce8ebf 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.
