1. Add matchbraceleft option …

   Add `matchbraceleft` option to allow disabling the default behavior
   matching not just the brace under cursor but also the brace to the left
   of it (which is arguably convenient, but also ambiguous and
   non-intuitive). With `matchbraceleft` disabled, micro will only match
   the brace character that is precisely under the cursor, and also when
   jumping to the matching brace, will always move cursor precisely to the
   matching brace character, not to the character next to it.
   
   Nota bene: historical journey:
   
   - There was already a `matchbraceleft` option introduced in commit
     ea6a87d, when this feature (matching brace to the left) was
     introduced first time. That time it was matching _only_ the brace
     to the left, _instead_ of the brace under the cursor, and was
     disabled by default.
   
   - Later this feature was removed during the big refactoring of micro.
   
   - Then this feature was reintroduced again in commit d1e713c, in
     its present form (i.e. combined brace matching both under the cursor
     and to the left, simulating I-beam cursor behavior), and it was
     introduced unconditionally, without an option to disable it.
   
   - Since then, multiple users complained about this feature and asked
     for an option to disable it, so now we are reintroducing it as an
     option again (this time enabled by default though).
