First, we don't want the writing of an emergency file to be interrupted
by the user. But more important: the routine for restoring the handler
also disables SIGINT, which would leave the terminal with a non-working
Ctrl+C.
Saving an emergency file calls write_file() in a unique manner: with
thefile == NULL, fullbuffer == FALSE (even though the entire buffer
will be saved, of course) and tmp == TRUE (even though it is not a
temporary file, as it will persist after nano exits). But in fact
we want the handler for Ctrl+C installed only for normal files, not
for temporary files and not for emergency files -- the user should
not be able to interrupt the writing of those.

Bug existed since version 4.3, commit 8550c6bd.
Trying to prepend would hang nano until some other process writes
something to the fifo.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61236.
Bug existed since before version 2.2.4.
Curses cannot function if not informed via TERM which type of terminal
is being used. As many terminals are mostly compatible with a VT220,
falling back to "vt220" when TERM is unset has a good chance of giving
the user a usable nano, instead of simply failing.
(Falling back to "vt100" is not good as it contains padding delays.)
This partially addresses https://bugs.debian.org/991982.
In the terminal font that I use nowadays (that deals well with
combining characters), the normal diamond exceeded the boundaries
of a single cell and thus partly covered the first character of
the relevant line.
When a segment of text is extracted, copy any anchors that it has
into the cutbuffer, so that they get saved in the undo item, so that
an undo will put these anchors back on the lines where they were,
instead of leaving an inherited anchor at the top of the segment.
And when text is pasted, clear any anchors in it, so that they will
not travel nor multiply.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61162.
Bug existed since version 5.0, since anchors were introduced.
That is: pause a little to jolt the user, and then leave the message
on the status bar.

Bug existed since version 4.8, commit 416386ed.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61146
Bug existed since version 2.3.2, since --locking was introduced,
and continued to exist since version 4.8 despite commit 497f126b
claiming to have fixed it.
The documentation (https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/libroot.html)
says that BSD extensions are enabled by default, but somehow this
does not seem to be the case on my system. With _DEFAULT_SOURCE
defined, though, src/files.c now compiles fine.
When safe_tempfile() returns a valid filename, it should also
return a valid open stream.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61064.
Bug existed since version 1.3.8, commit 5e068c60.
Any error message will already have been written to the terminal by
statusline(). Also, "Buffer not written to" looked too much like
"Buffer written to"; one had to look closely to see the difference.
Make sure that when multiple nanos with nameless buffers die,
each of them tries saving those buffers to different files.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60902.

Having a local variable that gets assigned to just once looks rather
poor. To me it makes more sense to have two separate exit points: one
for failure somewhere in the middle, and one for success at the end.
This way it is completely clear which value gets returned when.
And make the wording for the --historylog option similar.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60868.
Bug existed since version 2.3.0, commit 8e2a9307, since the
saving and restoring of the cursor position was introduced.
When something that is called from die() calls die() again,
there is nothing we can do any more but give up.
This would have prevented the spiralling as
seen in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60853.
This mitigates a problem seen sometimes among the Red Hat crash reports:
somehow wgetch() keeps returning ERR, as if it were in nodelay mode.
(I've seen this happen once after nano came out of suspension.)
Using a much larger error-count value gives the user a few seconds
to type something and hopefully get out of the error condition.
Calling die() could trigger another call of emergency_save(), which
could fail and cause another call to statusline(), which would call
die() again... Spiralling until stack space runs out.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60853.

In Dejavu Sans Mono the old pointing triangles had a decent size,
but in Noto Mono and in Ubuntu Mono (fonts that handle combining
diacritics better) those triangles were massive, visually taking
up more than a single cell, overlapping the closing parenthesis
when they are displayed in the second column. Not nice.
The new pointing small triangles look good in the Noto and Ubuntu
fonts, but are real tiny in Dejavu. :| Oh well, one can't have
everything.
(Other triangles are not an option, because they don't degrade to
actual arrows when on a Linux console.)
When the spotlighting needs to be cancelled, there is no need to do a
full refresh of the edit window -- redrawing just the relevant line is
enough. (And when there is just one row, it is enough too.)
We want to reduce the size of the answer by one byte,
not keep the full answer (plus terminating NUL).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60764.
Bug existed since version 2.9.8, commit f304b9ae,
since piping text to an external command was introduced.
