docs: mention nano's major features directly instead of referring
...
In addition, the referral in the FAQ was to nano's home page,
which does not mention any advantages or features of nano.

options: stop recognizing and ignoring -b, -e, -f, -j, and -q
...
This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible. We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.
Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.

docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences

It's not just about the numeric keypad, but about the interpretation
of all editing keys (arrows, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, and
Delete), of the escape sequences that they produce.

options: rename long version of -K from --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences

To better describe what it does, and to have full contrast with the
--rebinddelete option: the latter can now be shortened to --rebind
without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.

options: add --zap, that makes <Bsp> and <Del> erase a marked region

Using --zap or -Z on the command line, or 'set zap' in a nanorc file,
makes the <Bsp> and <Del> keys erase selected text (a marked region)
as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54837 .

docs: remove a no-longer-needed suggestion from the sample nanorc

It would result in having both <Delete> and <Backspace> behaving as
Backspace, which seems senseless -- unless the <Delete> key produces
ASCII DEL and --rebinddelete is needed to make it behave as Delete.
In the latter case it would make more sense if --rebinddelete made
both rebindings: ASCII DEL to Delete and KEY_DC to Backspace, like
it used to be in the distant past, before commit 79a33bb3
