Subject: When ‘--help’ is given, just run ‘man’ to show the manual page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I.e. do what git does.  I'm too lazy to keep the builtin help text up
to date :-)

Also add ‘--help’ to various commands that lacked it
(e.g. nix-collect-garbage).
