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.

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.
