characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.
If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge. (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)

copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
...
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

build: install the Info and Html manuals even when 'makeinfo' is missing
...
If the system on which nano is configured does not have the 'makeinfo'
program installed, the prebuilt and packaged nano.info and nano.html
should nevertheless be installed.
Also, the TEXINFOS primary has built-in rules for generating HTML files
from the texinfo sources, so an explicit rule is not needed.
This indirectly addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49969 .

build: move all documentation into a single directory

There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.
Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)

build: add configure option --disable-wordcomp to disable word completion
...
(The variable 'pletion_line' is not conditionalized with this option, as
it would become messy. The compiler will probably be able to elide it.)
When using --enable-tiny, it is not possible to use --enable-wordcomp,
because the word completion function uses the undo system.
