added <FG> command and special Q-Register "$" to set and get the current working directory
 * FG stands for "Folder Go"
 * FG behaves similar to a Unix shell `cd`.
   Without arguments, it changes to the $HOME directory.
 * The $HOME directory was previously only used by $SCITECOCONFIG on Unix.
   Now it is documented on its own, since the HOME directory should also
   be configurable on Windows - e.g. to adapt SciTECO to a MinGW or Cygwin
   installation.
   HOME is initialized just like the other environment variables.
   This also means that now, the $HOME Q-Register is always defined
   and can be used by platform-agnostic macros.
 * FG uses a new kind of tab-completion: for directories only.
   It would be annoying to complete the FG command after every
   directory, so this tab-completion does not close the command
   automatically. Theoretically, it would be possible to close
   the command after completing a directory with no subdirectories,
   but this is not supported currently.
 * Filename arguments are no longer completed with " " if {} escaping
   is in place as this brings no benefit. Instead no completion character
   is inserted for this escape mode.
 * "$" was mapped to the current directory to support an elegant way to
   insert/get the current directory.
   Also this allows the idiom "[$ FG...new_dir...$ ]$" for changing
   the current directory temporarily.
 * The Q-Register stack was extended to support restoring the string
   part of special Q-Registers (that overwrite the default functionality)
   when using the "[$" and "]$" commands.
 * fixed minor typos (american spelling)
