draw-line-numbers: preference buffer-specific variable

This variable controls whether line numbers appear to the left of each line in the current buffer. Bits in the variable control the formatting of the number. The line-number-width variable controls the width of the field in which line numbers will be displayed.

The 1 bit enables displaying line numbers.

The 2 bit repeats the line number when a long line is continued onto an additional screen line. Normally the line number field is blank on such continued lines.

The 4 bit positions line numbers at the left of their field. Normally they're right-aligned, ending one column before buffer text begins.

The 8 bit zero-fills the numbers, displaying 000123 instead of 123.

Epsilon omits line numbers in a pop-up or dialog window, even if the 1 bit is set, but adding the 16 bit forces line numbers there too.
