Subject: [PATCH] bindings: add a blind ^T toggle in the WhereIs and GotoLine
 menus

"Blind" meaning that the toggle is not shown in the help lines
nor in the help text, and that its function (`flipgoto`) cannot
be bound to another keystroke.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68503 and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2026-07/msg00006.html.

Apparently there are some users who are in the habit of typing ^W^T
when they want to jump to a specific line.  Avoid frustrating their
muscle memory.

In other words: handle ^W^T and ^/^T similar to how ^W^Y and ^W^V
are handled since commit 8e302738 from seven years ago.
