8e456bab9f docs: use proper emdashes instead of double hyphens: "--" => "\(em" 
Also, remove redundant double quotes, protect single quotes from
possibly getting misinterpreted, and protect periods from getting
treated as end-of-sentence.  Also, use \e instead of \\.

(Overlong lines are left alone -- they don't bother me.)

This partially addresses https://bugs.debian.org/1095957.

58c7358cb3 tweaks: change the man-page markup of options that take an argument 
This is an attempt to work around a bug in the Debian HTML-renderer of
manual pages: see how after "-C" everything is in italics [1], instead
of just the "directory" arguments.  (The renderer for Arch Linux does
even worse, showing the first argument in bold italics [2].)

The old markup was fine, though, as `groff` had no problem generating
properly formatted HTML [3].

ebddb49041 docs: do not quote the argument of 'include' statements in sample nanorc 
This avoids those arguments getting colorized as if they were regexes
(when the relevant lines are uncommented), and instead allows them to
get colorized in bold purple by a dedicated rule.

0c2caa50cc docs: correct the description of --bold, as function tags are unaffected 
The succinct function descriptions in the help lines are not shown in
reverse video by default, so they are not bolded by -D/--bold either.

Also, mention 'promptcolor' and 'minicolor' where they were missing.

b9449de5cf docs: improve the description of the 'flipexecute' bindable function
