docs: remove the two notices about the changed defaults

It has been more than three years since version 4.0 was released,
the moment that the defaults for line wrapping, smooth scrolling,
and the size of the editing window were changed.

Keep the note in the texi manual, though, as it is less in the way,
and the manual generally contains more info than the man pages.

docs: stop mentioning the obsoleted keywords that were removed

But keep the note about --suspendable, as it has been obsoleted rather
recentl. Move it to the NOTES section.

build: ignore errors from `git describe`

Due to CVE-2022-24765, Git refuses to operate on local repositories if
it runs as a different user from its owner. Since version 2.35.2:

  $ sudo git describe --tags
  fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/lh_mouse/GitHub/nano-win' is owned by someone else)
  To add an exception for this directory, call:

    git config --global --add safe.directory /home/lh_mouse/GitHub/nano-win

Conventionally, a user, who wishes to build and install nano from Git,
does this:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

The first `make` command builds the program as the current user.
The `make install` then installs the built files.

However, we have a recipe for 'revision.h' that is always executed,
even in the case of `make install`. As here it is run as root, Git
actually fails and produces an empty string. This causes `make install`
to rebuild nano.o and winio.o and results in an empty version string in
the upper left corner.

The solution is simple: First we attempt a dryrun of `git describe`.
If it fails, 'revision.h', which should have been updated by the first
`make` command, will be left intact.

version: condense the copyright message, to not dominate the output

It is enough to mention the year of the current release in the copyright
statement -- no need to specify the historical range of years.

syntax: default: do not colorize a square or angle bracket after a URL

Sometimes a URL is wrapped in [] or <> brackets -- the closing ] or >
is not part of the URL and should not be colored.
