reinstate space-to-tabstop entry in the manpage

removed in rev 1.95 since was hidden behind NOTAB, and forgot to be
re-added when no-tab-mode was resurrected.

add `notab' to the list of modes that can be set with set-default-mode

in the description of the other built-in modes.

fix lfindent (newline-and-indent) comment and description in the man page

for a while it has used only spaces when no-tab-mode is enabled and respected
the current buffer tab width.

mark up all commands in the man page

mark up `mode' in -f description

document that prefix-region with a prefix argument prompts for the string

mg: allow to change the tab width

This makes the tab width customizable per-buffer. The new function
`set-tab-width' changes it for the current buffer or the default value
for new buffers if called

mg: allow to change the tab width

This makes the tab width customizable per-buffer. The new function
`set-tab-width' changes it for the current buffer or the default value
for new buffers if called with a prefix argument (or from the startup
file.)

The default tab width is still 8 column.

Together with the newly resurrected no-tab-mode, allows to use mg for a
variety of programming languages and coding styles.

Note that it's not possible to call set-tab-width with auto-execute in
the startup file due to limitations in how auto-execute and the parser
work.

resurrect mg' no-tab-mode

It's a mode that makes mg insert spaces up to the next tab stop upon
pressing TAB, along with the various tweaks needed in other places so
for e.g. auto-indent-mode also uses spaces.

This is not just an unifdef NOTAB: even under no-tab-mode mg should
consider literal TAB characters wide up to the next tab stop, while the
hidden code considered hard tabs to be just control character (i.e. ^I)
with width of two columns. I'm also introducing the helper function
doindent() in utils.c to de-obfuscate the insertion of tabs/spaces until
the given column.

change tagvisit (aka visit-tag-table) to immediately load the tag file

before it used to only record the path to the tag file which was loaded
on demand upon find-tag (M-.). tagvisit did to do a stat + access dance
to know if the path was pointing to a regular, readable file and
loadtags (called lazily by find-tag) trusted those checks...

Instead, just load the tags in tagvisit and drop the lazy mechanics.

man pages: add missing commas between subordinate and main clauses

jmc@ dislikes a comma before "then" in a conditional, so leave those
untouched.

dired-shell-command is listed in the man page under 'DIRED KEY
BINDINGS' but not under 'DIRED COMMANDS'. Add it in.

Add a non-interactive version of query-replace-regexp function called
replace-regexp. Unfortunately query-replace-regexp can't be used in a
startup file.

Add 'dired-jump' from Philip K. <philip@warpmail.net> sent to tech@
over a year ago. Comments and testing from gkoehler@. Thanks to both.
Also, some modifications from me.

Add a 'batch' mode to mg via the '-b' command line option which will
initialise a pty, run the specified file of mg commands and then exit.

This is to facilitate mg fitting into the OpenBSD regress test
framework and be able to run via a cron job.

Move -u to alphabetically correct place in options. As spotted by jmc@

Allow the user to specify a path to the mg startup file on the command line.

Add that make-backup-files variable is enabled by default

make-backup-files toggles backup, so when you add it in your ~/.mg this
disables backup.

I totally forgot about the instance where blink-and-insert can be
called from the mg startup file. My previous diff broke that instance.
So this diff reverts my change but adds a man page line to
blink-and-insert in case someone should try to use it interactively,
again. Also, should anyone ever want to add an interactive version of
blink-and-insert in the future, the code is there. And the code could
be useful in another, related instance.
