Sync the command line option parsing to the help output

Hey there. While packaging gnome-disks 3.7.2 for SprezzOS 1.1.0, it was determined that none of the command-line option parsing, command-line help text, and man page agree on how to get help.

Following GNUish convention and personal expectation, I went with -h/--help (as featured in the help text), and synced the man page and parser to it. Please apply both patches. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.

g_application_add_main_option_entries is used for this now, and it handles --help, -h, and -?.

Hm, I've never seen the --help / -h style before. I will use -h, --help instead.
