something actually useful. To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.

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.

commands: rename 'fixer' to 'formatter', to be less misleading
...
The word "fixer" sounds too much as if the command would be able
to fix mistakes or correct errors. Especially when seen next to
"linter", it sounds as if one does a syntax check and the other
fixes the found mistakes. (Although the command might in theory
be used for this, it is not its intended purpose.)

rcfile: allow binding also F17...F24
...
For historical reasons the rebinding code allows binding F13...F16,
which on most terminals are typable with Shift plus F1...F4. But,
at least on an Xfce Terminal, Shift plus F1...F12 produce F13...F24.
On a Linux console, Shift plus F1...F8 produce F13...F20. So: allow
to bind the full shifted F13...F24 range. It costs no extra code
and makes things more rounded.
