bug #61273: ^W^Y and ^W^V do not work in the file browser

Fixed in git, commit 508301a2, basically by reverting commit 07c1ac90 from a year ago.

There is an asymmetry between the browser and the edit window: for the former, ^Y and ^V are listed in the help lines of the ^W Search menu, but not for the latter.  For the latter they were moved to the M-G Gotoline menu, but moving them to the Gotodir menu in the browser makes no sense: the last file is normally not a directory.

Maybe "First file" and "Last file" should no longer be listed in the Search menu of the browser either, and leave them just as blind, legacy keystrokes?  Nobody has reported them as non-working for a year, so there cannot be many people who use them.

To reproduce, run 'src/nano --ignore' and type: ^R ^T ^W.
See that in the help lines it says "^Y First File" and "^V Last File".

Now type: ^V.
See that the highlight goes down one row instead of going to the end of the list.

Type: ^W ^V ^W ^Y...
See that each time the highlight goes down one row.

Bug exists since version 5.0.  The offending commit is 07c1ac90: "delete two functions that are never executed".  Ouch.  Apparently they did get executed for the ^W^Y and ^W^V cases.  :|
