options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer
...
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.

options: let --afterends affect also the deleting of words (Ctrl+Delete)
...
It makes more sense that <Ctrl+Delete> deletes the same thing as what
<Shift+Ctrl+Right> would select.

docs: stop mentioning that --wordchars overrides --wordbounds

Since the previous commit, it no longer does. Instead, the two
interfere, and the user probably wants to use just one of them.

Also remove their documentation entries.

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.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57342 .
