When the screen is narrower than a tab is wide, the cursor does not need
to be on the first/last line of the window before an <Up>/<Down> could
need to scroll the screen.
This fixes http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51776.

Also, move home to the first character after the tab if the current
chunk starts with a partial tab.

Check the column number, not the character index, when suppressing the
line number on chunks other than the first, since the index can be zero
when in fact we're on a later chunk.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?51790.
Using do_up() and do_end() when the user types <Left> at the start of
a line, and do_down() and do_home() when typing <Right> at line's end
can be problematic when tabs are wider than the screen, because those
functions convert indexes to columns and back again twice, thus causing
inaccuracies. Therefore, simply adjust current and current_x directly,
and then redraw the screen.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?51778.
The preceding 'for' loop has already established that all the lines are
either unindentable or composed of only blanks. So if now a line cannot
be unindented, it means it is fully blank, so it can be simply skipped.

Also, only unindent when all selected lines can be unindented,
which means that the relative indentation will be preserved.
For this purpose, it ignores empty lines and lines consisting
of only whitespace.
When unindenting is not possible, a message is shown.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47684.
Instead of inserting the extra whitespace after the current indentation
of a line, add it to the start of the line. This causes a fixed amount
of visual whitespace to be added regardless of whether --tabstospaces
is used or not.
This fixes http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51438,
and its ancestor https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51408.
So that these functions have bindings by default, and easy bindings.
Add them to the help viewer too, so that searching backward becomes
possible there.
Tabs are of variable length depending on position, so allow them
to be displayed partially on one chunk and partially on another.
This fixes http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51621.
Adding text plus whitespace while the cursor is at or near the topleft
corner of the edit window can cause a change in the preceding chunk,
throwing firstcolumn out of alignment. Catch this special case.
This fixes http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51743.
It would be horrible if the user expects to find numbered backups
of all the files that were changed but they are NOT there because
the config file contains a typo or the relevant directory was moved
or renamed or something. So... if the specified backup directory
is not usable, nano should complain and simply not start up.
