emacs-27 b392c9f: Fix 'reverse-region' when less than one line is in region

[Eli Zaretskii]

branch: emacs-27
commit b392c9f365d081d98d9fbad5d54cadb7b9be15af
Author: Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>
Commit: Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>

    Fix 'reverse-region' when less than one line is in region
    
    * lisp/sort.el (reverse-region): Signal a user-error if the region
    includes less than one full line, thus avoiding an inadvertent
    deletion of text following the current line.  Fix the doc string.
    Fix comments to start with a capital letter.  (Bug#39376)
