ps: generalize help text logic, add related translator hints

Browse Source 
This commit represents an experiment in nls help text support.

The word --help itself been made translatable along with the
help section names and their abbreviations.  Thus, the work of
the translators will ultimately alter program run-time behavior.

Perhaps someday all "long" options can behave in a similar way
which could offer a considerable benefit to other languages.
Instead of translationg just option descriptions, the long
forms of those options could also be transalated.

This commit also:
 . includes the section abbreviations in --help output
 . isolates all --help support in the ps/help.c module
 . provides (hopefully) meaningful Translator guidance
 . removes --help support from the ps/common.h header
 . removes --help support from the ps/parser.c module
 . eliminates tabs in line with the style of other ps modules
 . eliminates the need for the include/c.h header file
