Dramatically improved the online help system.
Modify global.h and global.cc to bring up the info page for
Ledger rather than the outdated man page. Also introduced
new options to search the info page index.
Help options are now:
`--help' Brings up the info page
`--help-info' Brings up the info help page
`--help-comm' concept Searches the info index for `concept'
`--help-disp' Brings up the Format String chapter of the manual
`--help-calc' Brings up the Value Expression Chapter.
