Add more links to SCI_SETWORDCHARS to doc

[Greg Smith]

In several places, the documentation mentions 'word' characters, especially in the searching area. Could there be a link to SCI_SETWORDCHARS in the vicinity of heavy 'word' reference, please.

I ask because I stumbled upon a message from a new user who was asking about getting a final $ to be selected in a variable name when double-clicking and I was about to respond (until I noticed that the message was from 2010!) to say set the word characters (which I know you can do), but I could not remember the name of the message. I searched the doc for 'word', and found a huge list of hits, mainly in the search area, but not link to SCI_SETWORDCHARS nearby.

Possible places:

definition of SCFIND_WHOLEWORD, text "Scintilla's definitions of words".

Perhaps a section on words would be better with SCI_SETWORDCHARS (currently in “Other settings”) and the related calls as well as word query APIs like SCI_WORDENDPOSITION and SCI_ISRANGEWORD.

There is now a separate Words section in the documentation with some more explanation. There are links from the find flags to SCI_SETWORDCHARS.
