Update the vimscript code for restoring cursor position

Using xxd(1) to filter and edit binary files causes the input files
to have dual nature, so to speak, which effectively makes restoring
the cursor position broken.  Fix that by ignoring the "xxd" file type
in the code that restores the cursor position.

Interactive rebasing in git causes files to be edited in vim, which,
similarly to commit messages, are rarely the same as the last one
edited.  Thus, also add "gitrebase" to the list of file types for
which the cursor position isn't restored.

While there, refactor the code a bit to possibly save a few CPU cycles
and to keep the line lengths in check, and use the long form of the
commands and variables, to make the code slightly more consistent and
more understandable to newcomers.

Update the relevant comments in the code and the associated parts of
the documentation, to keep them in sync with the updated code.

Remove some redundant trailing whitespace as well, as spotted.

Another autocommand. This time it is used after reading any file. The
complicated stuff after it checks if the '" mark is defined, and jumps to it
if so. The backslash at the start of a line is used to continue the command
from the previous line. That avoids a line getting very long.
See |line-continuation|. This only works in a Vim script file, not when
typing commands at the command-line.
if so. It doesn't do that for a commit or rebase message, which are likely
a different one than last time, and when using xxd(1) to filter and edit
binary files, which transforms input files back and forth, causing them to
have dual nature, so to speak. See also |using-xxd|.
