That is: keep nibbling off characters until a character is eaten that
takes up at least one column.

Bug existed since version 2.8.0, commit 5283acdc.
On small terminals (80 columns or so), ^S and ^Q would be in
the last position of the help lines. But some terminals might
intercept ^S and stop all output (until ^Q is pressed), which
could be unexpected and frustrating. So, rearrange things for
the tiny version so that ^S appears only on very wide terminals.
Also, having two keystrokes for saving the current buffer
(^O and ^S) in the two help lines is wasteful, more so as
in the tiny version there are no ^G help texts.
So, show the more useful M-Q and M-W instead.

If these two command-line options would override an rcfile setting of
their counterpart new option, the user might come to expect being able
to do this also in the future. But these old options will be obsoleted
at some moment, so... better start ignoring them right now.
The start-of-paragraph and end-of-paragraph seeking functions are only
vaguely related to searching, and have nothing to do with replacing --
the functions make more sense in the Goto-Line menu.
Also, the Goto-Line menu is much less crowded, so the functions are
more likely to be noticed there. Furthermore, this makes harmless a
typo that I sometimes make: typing ^W again when I've already done so.
Jumping to the first or last line of the buffer doesn't have anything
to do with searching, so these functions shouldn't be present in the
search menus. They make perfect sense in the Goto-Line menu, though.
To make it obvious that they are not actual characters in the file.
The default highlighting is in reverse video, but this can be changed
to bold by using --bold or 'set boldtext'.
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55571.
The angular brackets look a bit like arrows and thus hint much more
at the idea of continuation than a dollar sign.

When the screen's edge leaves just one column for a two-column
character, then show its left half as "[" and its right half as "]".
(They used to be shown as ">" and "<", but these characters will be
repurposed in the next commit.)

The get_history_older_void() and get_history_newer_void() functions
are mere names, they don't actually do anything. So... don't bother
to execute them, so the 'finished' variable doesn't have to be reset
after calling them.
Also, normalize the order of those two empty functions.
When doing replacements or fixing misspelled words, and edit_refresh()
is called to highlight the relevant word, then the current menu can be
anything from MREPLACEWITH, MYESNO, MSPELL, or MMAIN. Make sure it is
always set to the latter just before calling edit_refresh(), so that
display_string() will use the full length and the word gets properly
highlighted.

Bug was introduced by the previous commit, 56181896.
It needs to be trimmed and substituted with a single-width placeholder
to prevent the continuation character ">" from getting pushed to the
next row.
Also, use the correct width for the answer so that the continuation
character is only displayed when the answer does not fit any more.

When a line ends with a two-column character, and this character straddles
the edit window's edge, then, although we've reached the end of 'buf', we
have exceeded the 'beyond' column and this two-column character needs to
be trimmed from the 'converted' string, otherwise it would get printed on
the next row.
