Remove 'help' command and clean up help output 

The redundant "help" command is now hidden from the wayvncctl UI.

This also moves event description help text to:
  wayvncctl event-receive --show=<event-name>

Use the `wayvncctl` utility to interact with this control socket from the
command line.
The `help` command can interactively query the available IPC commands:
```
$ wayvncctl help
Commands:
- help
- version
- event-receive
- set-output
- get-clients
- get-outputs
- disconnect-client
- wayvnc-exit
Run 'wayvncctl command-name --help' for command-specific details.
Events:
- client-connected
- client-disconnected
- capture-changed
Run 'wayvncctl help --event=event-name' for event-specific details.
```
And give descriptions and usage for specific commands:
```
$ wayvncctl set-output --help
Usage: wayvncctl [options] set-output [params]
Switch the actively captured output
Parameters:
--switch-to=...
The specific output name to capture
--cycle=...
Either "next" or "prev"
Run 'wayvncctl --help' for allowed options
```
See the `wayvnc(1)` manpage for an in-depth description of the IPC protocol and
the available commands, and `wayvncctl(1)` for more on the command line
interface.

Running *wayvncctl help --event=event-name* returns a description of the
server-side event and expected parameters.
- Running *wayvncctl event-receive --help* includes a list of all supported event
