doc: fix inconsistent capitalization in --help output
* src/base64.c (usage): Don't capitalize the first character in an --option description. * src/stdbuf.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): A new syntax check to stop this happening in future. * man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Ensure all man pages are generated, then search for erroneous uppercase chars. * src/Makefile.am (all_programs): Ensure all commands are built so that all man pages can be generated.
