The 'tabgives' command is syntax-specific and should be followed by a
string containing the character(s) that a single press of the <Tab> key
should produce -- most likely a single TAB or a small bunch of spaces,
but any string is allowed. This overrides the 'tabstospaces' option.
When one wants to make sure <Tab> inserts always four spaces and never
a TAB when editing a Python file, one could add to one's nanorc:
extendsyntax python tabgives " "
where there are four spaces between the quotes. And when one wants
to ensure, when editing a Makefile, that <Tab> always inserts a TAB
and never spaces, independent of what tabstospaces is set to, one
could add to one's nanorc:
extendsyntax makefile tabgives " "
where there is a literal TAB character between the quotes.

As printf() is not UTF8-aware, we have to determine ourselves how many
columns each short and long flag take up and add the required number of
spaces (not tabs, because their size is not fixed) to fill things up.

For a forward search from the command line, pass FALSE to 'skipone'
so that an occurrence at the head of the file is not skipped over.

The regcomp() function from glibc-2.27 (and older) considers the
bracket expression ['-.] to be invalid -- mistakenly. Avoid using
any range expression in the relevant regex and instead enumerate
all acceptable characters.
This avoids https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56766.
Allow the user to specify that the search string should be interpreted
case-sensitively and/or as a regular expression by preceding the search
indicator (/ or ?) with c and/or r. Or to switch these things off by
using C and/or R.

The string to "jump to" is specified with +/ for a forward search
(from the top of the file), or with +? for a backward search (from
the bottom of the file).

So that in the error message the correct filename gets shown
instead of the name of the (first) include file.

When reporting a syntax without any color commands, show the line number
of the relevant 'syntax' command instead of the line number where the
emptiness is concluded, because the latter can be many lines later.

The previous commit saves and restores filename and linenumber for
each single included file (after globbing), so it is now redundant
to do it for each 'include' command.
For each included file, save and restore file name and line number of
the including file, so that an error message about a faulty 'include'
command can indicate the location of this 'include'.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56488.

It's in a two-column format that fits on a single page, and uses the
more widely known Ctrl+X and Alt+X notations (instead of ^X and M-X).

So that any message that is on the status bar after the search
will be a response to this search and not some leftover.
