Help facility

This spec release has a redesigned help facility. The internal help file parser and formatter have been removed and formatting is now handled by the standard groff and related utilities. Both the built-in help display and the stand-alone chelp program automatically stream formatted help files through the less pager with output sized to the width of the window.

The help files are now authored in reStructuredText (reST) format and converted to groff input format for spec (or HTML for the certif.com website using Python tools. The new help files are located in a new SPECD/spec_help directory.
