Curses cannot function if not informed via TERM which type of terminal
is being used. As many terminals are mostly compatible with a VT220,
falling back to "vt220" when TERM is unset has a good chance of giving
the user a usable nano, instead of simply failing.
(Falling back to "vt100" is not good as it contains padding delays.)
This partially addresses https://bugs.debian.org/991982.
In the terminal font that I use nowadays (that deals well with
combining characters), the normal diamond exceeded the boundaries
of a single cell and thus partly covered the first character of
the relevant line.
When a segment of text is extracted, copy any anchors that it has
into the cutbuffer, so that they get saved in the undo item, so that
an undo will put these anchors back on the lines where they were,
instead of leaving an inherited anchor at the top of the segment.
And when text is pasted, clear any anchors in it, so that they will
not travel nor multiply.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61162.
Bug existed since version 5.0, since anchors were introduced.
On most terminals "bold" also makes the relevant text lighter (or just
makes it lighter, like on a Linux console). Only some terminals allow
the user to switch this coupling of bold to light off.

It should be "bold,white,red" instead of "brightwhite,red"
because "bright" is deprecated and not documented.

That is: pause a little to jolt the user, and then leave the message
on the status bar.

Bug existed since version 4.8, commit 416386ed.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61146
Bug existed since version 2.3.2, since --locking was introduced,
and continued to exist since version 4.8 despite commit 497f126b
claiming to have fixed it.
These files haven't been updated in more than fifteen years and their
number of translated strings has dropped to below twenty percent.
Also, prevent them from coming back when next syncing with the TP.
The documentation (https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/libroot.html)
says that BSD extensions are enabled by default, but somehow this
does not seem to be the case on my system. With _DEFAULT_SOURCE
defined, though, src/files.c now compiles fine.
When safe_tempfile() returns a valid filename, it should also
return a valid open stream.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61064.
Bug existed since version 1.3.8, commit 5e068c60.
Opening a file whose name starts with a plus is not a problem at all.
Instead describe how to get the Alt+Up keystroke to scroll on a Linux
console (on Debian and friends).
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57294.
Any error message will already have been written to the terminal by
statusline(). Also, "Buffer not written to" looked too much like
"Buffer written to"; one had to look closely to see the difference.
