Looking at vim and Emacs and Geany, the latter two color most keywords in
a single color.  But vim distinguishes two groups, and colors "import" and
"export" the same way.  So I have done that for nano too.

Also, "await" seems to belong in the same group as "import" and "export",
so I have moved it there -- it is not a `declarational` keyword but an
`active` one.

In subsequent patches I have added some more keywords, changed the color
of strings (to distinguish them from keywords), have removed the coloring
of uppercase words and of some special single-quoted strings whose purpose
I did not understand -- they seemed to want to color octal and hexadecimal
numbers, plus something mysterious -- and have put in another method of
coloring octal/decimal/hexadecimal numbers.

Looking at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript, there
appear to be still some more keywords: instanceof, super...  And the three
other editors color "true" and "false" specially too.
