If in between the unlink() in delete_lockfile() and the fopen() in
write_lockfile() some other process creates a symlink in the place
of the lock file, then the fopen() could unexpectedly overwite a
root-owned file (when the user is root).
This basically reverts the previous commit, b4299f4f, but makes the
code a bit conciser.
One microsecond earlier, the lock file has been deleted (if it existed),
so, if between our unlink() and our open() some other process managed to
recreate the lock file... well, we want to delete it *again*. So, just
overwrite and truncate the lock file (if it exists).
When the lock file did NOT exist (a few microseconds earlier, when
checking in do_lockfile(), before calling write_lockfile()), then
the user expects the lock file to be written, so: just write it.
That between the check and the actual writing of the lock file there
is a small window of opportunity for other processes to write this
lock file is unfortunate, but it is not a reason to bother the user
with an error message when it happens.
One microsecond before a lock file is created an existing lock file
has been deleted, and if that deletion failed, writing the lock file
is aborted. So why should writing the lock file not be aborted when
the lock file cannot be exclusively created one microsecond later?
This makes no sense. So... always include the O_EXCL flag, also
when the INSECURE_BACKUP flag is set.
(And anyway: lock files are not an essential part of editing, they
are just a small service to the user, AND they have nothing to do
with backups, so a backup flag should not influence them.)
When two lines are joined, 'refresh_needed' is already set to TRUE,
so only when a midline character is deleted the check for a changed
number of chunks is needed.
Now all functions that are relevant only to softwrapping
get called only when softwrapping is on.
This also allows to elide an intermediate function call.
A file is always in either Unix or DOS or Mac format, and should
by default be saved again in that same format.
Any lone CRs or LFs after the first line should not change the
format that was deduced from that very first line.
Only when a CR is seen before any LF, and the CR is not followed
by a LF, should this CR be interpreted as a line separator. And
only then the file should be reported as being in Mac format --
as long as --noconvert is not used.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58357.
Bug existed since at least version 2.0.6.
Also, when finish() is called when the user presses Cancel upon
encountering a lock file, there is no need to save any history
files because nothing has changed.
When the user mentions the file "zzy" on the command line,
the magic spell "Xyzzy" does not actually get typed, so the
Easter egg should then not be triggered.
This will not catch all cases, but at least it will precalculate the
data when syntax coloring was toggled off (M-Y) while in one buffer
and then toggled back on after having switched to a new buffer.
When a file is saved under a different name, and as a result the
applicable syntax changes, and the old syntax had multiline regexes
and the new syntax doesn't, then the call of precalc_multicolorinfo()
in write_file() should not result in nano setting up a multicache of
zero bytes for each line in the buffer.
(Problem was found by locally letting nano crash when zero bytes are
allocated, and then happening to rename a file.py to a file.sh.)
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.
Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.
Just let all anchors disappear when doing an external spell check or
formatting or piping the buffer through an external command, because
leaving just a single anchor on the top line is useless.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58273.
Bug existed since commit 732cf887 from one month ago. That code
causes an anchor to persist at the point where lines are removed.
When a single paragraph is justified, any anchor on any of its lines
gets moved to its first line. Let a full justification do the same
for each of the paragraphs.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58272 in a better way.

When set_colorpairs() is called, no files have been loaded yet, so
no syntaxes will have been loaded yet either. Thus it is pointless
to run through the list of available syntaxes.
Its major function is to find an applicable syntax, if there is any.
And if the syntax hasn't been used before, to prime its color pairs.
Also, reshuffle a line to be able to elide an #ifdef.
In "Cut Text" and "Paste Text" the word "Text" is superfluous. (It
could even be called slightly misleading, because by default ^K will
cut the current line, whether or not it contains text.)
The "Get Help" is of course inherited from Pico, but to me it has
always sounded a bit as if it would go search help on the internet.
Instead of "Spelling" I would have preferred "Spellcheck", but that
gets a bit too cramped on an 80-column terminal.
For ^C I've chosen "Location" because I tend to understand "Position"
as a verb, especially when seen next to "Go To Line" (even when having
two items with the same meaning next to each other doesn't make sense).
"Mark Text" has simply always been wrong. It doesn't mark anything,
but just *sets* the mark (or unsets it, but that normally happens
automatically, no need to mention that in the label).
The "Cut Till End" and "Full Justify" get shown only on very wide
terminals, and at such widths there is enough room for each label
to write out those two labels in full.
