request for import-freeze exception for nano-2.5.3-2

[Benno Schulenberg]

Nano-2.5.2 has an annoying bug: the cursor is visible in the help screens (^G) and in the file browser (^R ^T). Nano-2.5.3 fixes that. 2.5.3 also fixes two segfaults that can occur in rare situations (editing very large files, and certain errors in the nanorc file). It fixes a few other small bugs too which would be nice /not/ to have in an LTS release.

[Benno Schulenberg (bennoschulenberg)]

Fixes slowness in the file browser in big directories:
        * src/browser.c (do_browser, browser_refresh): Rebuild the file list
        only when necessary, not for each and every cursor movement. This
        fixes Savannah bug #47133.

Fixes segfault when editing very large files:
        * src/files.c (save_poshistory): Allocate enough space for printing
        out the line and column numbers. This fixes Savannah bug #47135.

Hides the cursor in the help screens and file browser:
        * src/*.c: Switch the cursor on and off at the appropriate moments,
        so that it no longer shows in the help screen nor in the file list.
        This fixes Savannah bug #47126.

Fixes a segfault when the header command is quoteless:
        * src/rcfile.c (parse_header_exp): Don't continue when something is
        wrong -- skip the rest of the line. This fixes Savannah bug #47289.

The last fix is not in 2.5.3 itself, but it /is/ in 2.5.3-2 in Debian Testing. So please sync with that for Xenial.

Oh, forgot to say: it also has more complete translations.

Harmless and desirable bug fixes, approved.
