cmd: add 'help' subcommand to zpool and zfs

'program help subcommand' is a reasonably common pattern for
multifunction command-line programs. This commit adds support for that
style to the zpool and zfs commands.

When run as 'zpool help [<topic>]' or 'zfs help [<topic>]', executes the
'man' program on the PATH with the most likely manpage name for the
requested topic: "zpool-<topic>" or "zfs-<topic>" for subcommands, or
"zpool<topic>" or "zfs<topic>" for the "concepts" and "props" topics.
If no topic is supplied, uses the top "zpool" or "zfs" pages.
