[PATCH v2 0/2] Refactor and improve full help output from tools

Sorry this took so long to get back to! Got there in the end though :)
Changes from v1: * Collected the full help printing code from patman, buildman & binman into a single function so that when support for PAGER containing arguments is added it applies to all the relevant tools.

When printing full help output from a tool, we should be able to handle a PAGER variable which includes arguments, e.g. PAGER='less -F'.
