Subject: [PATCH] board/common: replace edit and editor with symlink to nano

The nano editor has been shown, over and over again, to be more
user-friendly to complete UNIX/Linux beginners than even Mg.

Also, change the default pager/less to be less (again), it was
very confusing to have less be most and more just be more.  We
recommend scripts to use pager and edit/editor to call system
safe defaults.
