docs: mention that a negative number after "+" counts from the end
...
A negative line number given on the command line counts from the end
of the relevant file (-1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
and a negative column number from the end of the relevant line.
The feature was added in version 2.8.5 but not mentioned in the manual.

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.)

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.

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.
