GNU nano 8.0 released

My first thought was to overload argv to make distinct instances of the e* editor (as I'll now remember nano), such that you could kill a particular one when several are running (elinux, eblog, ecommerce, enlightenment).

I tried "$ (exec -a en nano)" in bash, and that seems to change argv and /proc/self/cmdline for that process to the new name. I don't have the new e* v8 yet to check the modern bindings however.

(Un)fortunately this doesn't affect the likes of "pgrep electricnano" by default, and needs "pgrep -f electricnano; pkill -f electricnano" to use the process cmdlines. I suspect this is due to /proc/self/exe being a symlink to the real path, and the design of certain tools limiting trust in user inputs to prevent complete chaos. The given argv 0 does show up in "ps a" and "systemctl status".
