This patch does probably too much, but it's hard (and very
cumbersome/time consuming) to break it out. What is does is this:
* each command has one short description, e.g. "list MUX configuration"
* made sure the short descriptions start lowercase
* each command has one usage. That string contains just the
options, e.g. "[-npn]". It's not part of the long help text.
* that is, it doesn't say "[OPTIONS]" anymore, every usable option
is listed by character in this (short) option string (the long
description is in the long help text, as before)
* help texts have been reworked, to make them
- sometimes smaller
- sometimes describe the options better
- more often present themselves in a nicer format
* all long help texts are now created with BUSYBOX_CMD_HELP_
macros, no more 'static const __maybe_unused char cmd_foobar_help[]'
* made sure the long help texts starts uppercase
* because cmdtp->name and cmdtp->opts together provide the new usage,
all "Usage: foobar" texts have been removed from the long help texts
* BUSYBOX_CMD_HELP_TEXT() provides the trailing newline by itself, this
is nicer in the source code
* BUSYBOX_CMD_HELP_OPT() provides the trailing newline by itself
* made sure no line gets longer than 77 characters
* delibertely renamed cmdtp->usage, so that we can get compile-time
errors (e.g. in out-of-tree modules that use register_command()
* the 'help' command can now always emit the usage, even without
compiled long help texts
* 'help -v' gives a list of commands with their short description, this
is similar like the old "help" command before my patchset
* 'help -a' gives out help of all commands

The old output of "help" was just producing a long list, that usually
scrolled of the screen (even on a X11 terminal). This list is more
compact, and also sorted by groups.
The old output format (plus grouping) is now available with 'help -v'.
Example:
Information commands:
?, devinfo, help, iomem, meminfo, version
Boot commands:
boot, bootm, go, loadb, loads, loadx, loady, saves, uimage
...

This is not yet used, but with this the different network
commands can get rid of their global data.

We used to eth_open/eth_halt the network devices during NetLoopInit
which is called whenever the user enters a network command.
Change this behaviour so that the current network device gets opened
when making it the current one.
With this change it's always possible to send packages and we are able
to implement a new network stack in the next step.

No need to check for maximum argument counts. The commands are
safe to be called with more arguments, so lets safe some bytes.

Instead of having a big switch/case for every protocol, do
the right things in the individual functions before callong
NetLoop().

Use a pointer to an ip address instead of the return value in string_to_ip
and use the return value for error indication only. 0.0.0.0 can be a valid
ip address

- Add help texts for many commands.
- Let the linker sort the command table.
- Add support for multiple argmuments in several commands
(mkdir, rmdir, rm, cat)
- do more POSIX:
- use DIR instead of struct dirent
- use (struct dirent)->d_name instead of (struct dirent)->name
- switch to a new layout for U_BOOT_CMD:
- use C99 initializers to be able to add more fields to the
command struct
- add aliases for commands (needed mainly for help -> ? and test -> [
- This is not done for all commands yet, but the compiler will tell you ;)
