bindings: make ^F start a forward search by default

This makes nano more usable for users that are accustomed to the
near universal use of ^F for Find/Search in other programs, and
especially for users that somehow access a terminal through their
browser (where ^W will, destructively, close the terminal tab).

(To keep the bindings consistent, make ^B start a backward search,
and let M-F and M-B search for the next occurrence in the matching
direction.)
