Commit cde1ea0e separated the coreutils-specific patches from help2man.
Most changes had been made to accommodate to the coreutils style guide,
i.e., to avoid syntax-check failures like sc_long_lines.
Yet 2 changes had to be put into the patch help2man.diff.
But this added the dependency to patch(1) in distribution builds.
Incidentally, the 2 remaining parts of the patch can easily be
done outside of help2man. Therefore, this commit partly reverts
the recent separation of help2man into 'help2man.in' and
'help2man.diff', and instead uses the original help2man script.
* man/help2man.in: Rename to ...
* man/help2man: ... this file.
* man/help2man.diff: Remove.
* man/local.mk (mandeps): Remove man/help2man.
(man/help2man): Remove recipe.
(.x.1): Add the --info-page option when calling help2man in order
to change the name of the texinfo manual from the default, "info PRG",
to "info coreutils 'PRG invocation'".
Furthermore, use an sed pattern to remove the sentence starting
with "For complete documentation".
* .gitignore (/man/help2man): Remove entry.
* .x-update-copyright: Replace the entries for the files
'man/help2man.diff' and 'man/help2man.in' by 'man/help2man'.
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Instead of 'man/help2man.in', exempt
'man/help2man' from this test.
(sc_po_check): Likewise.
(sc_space_tab): Instead of 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'
from this test.
(sc_trailing_blank): Likewise.
(sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of 'man/help2man.in' and
'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'.
* man/dummy-man: Recognize the option --info-page=... as no-op.

Instead of diverging further from the upstream GNU help2man project
(http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/), hold a copy of the original
script and keep track of our changes in a separate patch file.
The man pages created with the new version show the following,
non-invasive differences:
a) command options in the EXAMPLE sections are no longer in bold format,
b) file names are underlined now consistently.
* man/help2man: Rename to ...
* man/help2man.in: ... this file, and update content from the
upstream GNU help2man project.
* man/help2man.diff: Add patch file for help2man to remove the
sentence "For complete documentation ..." (see commit 5d4f09d8),
and to emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man
pages (77abf69a).
* man/local.mk (mandeps): Add help2man to the dependencies of
the man pages.
(man/help2man): Add rule to generate this script from the upstream
help2man.in file and the help2man.diff patch.
* .gitignore: Add man/help2man as it is no longer version controlled.
* cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Exempt help2man.in from this check.
(sc_po_check): Likewise.
(sc_space_tab): Likewise.
(sc_trailing_blank): Exempt man/help2man.diff from this check.
(sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of help2man, now exempt
both help2man.in and help2man.diff from this test.
* .x-update-copyright: Add new file and add the above new help2man
files as well as the COPYING file.
