pager: fix printing non-visible characters `\001` & `\002`2185-pager-bug-fix

Fixes #2185 (Non-Visible Characters Printed with Page)

The `--raw-control-chars` option (aka `-r`) does the following:

```
Causes "raw" control characters to be displayed.  The default is
to  display  control  characters  using  the caret notation; for
example, a control-A (octal 001) is displayed as "^A".  Warning:
when the -r option is used, less cannot keep track of the actual
appearance of the screen (since this depends on how  the  screen
responds to each type of control character).  Thus, various dis-
play problems may result, such as long lines being split in  the
wrong place.
```

The `--RAW-CONTROL-CHARS` option was always used with the pager, I just expanded
it from `-R`, so that it looks more descriptive. For reference, it does the
following:

```
Like  -r,  but  only ANSI "color" escape sequences are output in
"raw" form.  Unlike -r, the screen appearance is maintained cor-
rectly  in  most  cases.   ANSI  "color"  escape  sequences  are
sequences of the form:

     ESC [ ... m

where the "..." is zero or more color  specification  characters
For  the  purpose  of  keeping  track of screen appearance, ANSI
color escape sequences are assumed to not move the cursor.   You
can  make less think that characters other than "m" can end ANSI
color escape  sequences  by  setting  the  environment  variable
LESSANSIENDCHARS to the list of characters which can end a color
escape sequence.  And you can make less  think  that  characters
other  than the standard ones may appear between the ESC and the
m by setting the environment variable  LESSANSIMIDCHARS  to  the
list of characters which can appear.
```
