Fixed in git, commit add945e7, by looking for digits and colons starting from the end of the specified filename.

When the files 'foo' and 'foo:40' both exist, one would expect running `nano foo:40:20` to open 'foo:40' at line 20.  Instead it opens 'foo' at line 40, column 20.  To reproduce, run:

ln -s NEWS foo
ln -s README foo:40
src/nano foo:40:20

Of course, 'foo:40:20' is ambigiuous, but 'foo:40' is ambiguous too, and if nano acts on the longest name in the latter case, it should do so too in the former.
