Instead of burdening seven other calls of do_prompt() with a useless
parameter, just check for MGOTODIR in the appropriate place. It also
saves having to pass the parameter down through three more functions.
The single dot serves no purpose, as the user is already there. And
the double dot is reached more easily by typing a second dot first.
And anyway, . and .. are not shown when the user does not type a dot
first, so why show them when the user types a single dot followed by
<Tab><Tab>? Most likely the user wants to see actual dot files, so
just show those.

Now the help lines can be toggled not only while editing, but also at
the Read (^R), Write (^O), Execute (^T), Search (^W), Replace (M-R),
Goto (^/), and Yesno prompts, and also in the file browser and when
searching for a file name. The help lines cannot be toggled in the
help viewer, nor when searching in a help text, nor in the linter,
as these three things force the help lines to be on.
Furthermore, the 'nohelp' function can be rebound in all relevant
menus (default binding: M-X).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58471.
The modifier has to come before the foreground color name, separated
by a comma, and after 'bold,' (when present). This has no effect on
terminals that are incapable of cursive text, like the Linux console.

The username_tab_completion() function taken from busybox-0.46 was
just a stub, it contained basically nothing. Chris himself wrote
the function in November 2000 (commit be77c611), and rewrote it in
January 2001 (commit 2c2c5f21).
The version of username_tab_completion() in that latter commit looks
somewhat like the version of Vladimir N. Oleynik <dzo@simtreas.ru>
(busybox commit 4e338757). That commit comes three days after Chris'
commit, but Vladimir's original email is from a week earlier:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2001-January/035687.html.
So... it is quite possible that Rocco saw that email and suggested
to Chris to rewrite username_tab_completion() using getpwent().
Anyway, the version that was taken from busybox-0.46 was just four
lines and thus not worthy of copyright. The two other functions
that were copied were heavily modified in 2000, so it's better to
add that year in the copyright notice. It is fine to tweak the
notice: it just says that the original authors must be attributed,
not that the exact text must remain unchanged.
Instead of first trying to match things, and then discarding these
matches when the cursor is not at the end of the offered fragment
('buf'), simply don't bother to do any matching in that case.
The variable is set to zero at its declaration, and the second function
is called only when the first is either not called or found nothing --
thus '*num_matches' will still be zero.
This increases the chances that the wanted hash will be present in
the checkout when we haven't changed the hash for a few months.

Names give a rough idea of what the color will look like, whereas
numerical indexes would not do this at all.
Nine extra colors seems enough. If there were more, no one would be
able to say for sure which is which when two similar colors are used
several rows apart.

After a year or so, when people have had time to convert their syntaxes
to use 'bold' and/or 'light' instead of 'bright', we can drop this
colorizing, and still later stop recognizing 'bright' altogether.
Having the M-F toggle non-persistent, makes the behavior of ^R
predictable. This allows string binds that load a file to work
correctly independently of when M-F was last pressed.
The -F/--multibuffer command-line option and "set multibuffer"
in a nanorc file determine the default behavior of ^R.

The name 'bright' does not fit its effect (often bolding the typeface),
so better discourage its use.
Furthermore, colorize 'bold' and 'light' also for interface colors.
There were no calls of statusbar() or statusline() before curses mode
was entered. But since the previous commit curses mode is entered
even earlier, so...
A background color *can* be bright (in the sense of lighter, shinier).
It's just that the background cannot be bold. Only the typeface used
on the foreground can be bold (if the terminal supports it). So, let
"bright", when used with a background color, simply mean "light".
This makes it possible to avoid the misnamed prefix "bright". It is
misnamed because (on current terminal emulators, when the brightening
of bold is switched off) it just makes the typeface bold, not the color
brighter. The prefix "light" will now only make the color brigther,
and the modifier "bold" will just make the typeface bold (on terminal
emulators, when the brightening of bold is switched off).
On a Linux console, which is not capable of bolding the typeface,
"bold" will brighten the color.
This fully fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58503.
The prefix "bright" will continue to make the color brighter AND/OR
make the typeface bold (depending on how the terminal is configured
and on its capabilities), but the prefix "light" will just make the
color brighter (if the terminal can do that).
The prefix "bright" continues to do the same as what it did before,
to not change the appearance of user-defined syntaxes. And having
an option to change the meaning of "bright"... would be confusing.
This partially fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58503.
This way we don't have to probe twice, and the result is accurate also
when nano is reading data from standard input. Standard output should
always be connected to a terminal, as nano is not meant to operate
without a screen.
