Jim Warner 4fb48c0bdb ps: generalize help text logic, add related translator hints
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

. This next group of lines represents 6 pairs of words + abbreviations
. which are the basis of the 'ps' program help text.
.
. The words and abbreviations you provide will alter program behavior.
. They will also appear in the help usage summary associated with the
. "Notes for ps Help #2" below.
.
. In their English form, help text would look like this:
. Try 'ps --help <simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>'
. or 'ps --help <s|l|o|t|m|a>'
. for additional help text.
.
. When translating these 6 pairs you may choose any appropriate
. language equivalents and the only requirement is the abbreviated
. representations must be unique.
.
. By default, those abbreviations are single characters. However,
. they are not limited to only one character after translation.
