Ron Yorston 5a9d2b6e02 libbb: make '--help' handling more consistent 
Running an applet with '--help' as its only argument is treated
as a special case.  If additional arguments follow '--help' the
behaviour is inconsistent:

- applets which call single_argv() print help and do nothing else;

- applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'"
  and print help anyway;

- expr says "expr: syntax error" and doesn't print help;

- printenv silently ignores '--help', prints any other variables
  and doesn't print help;

- realpath says "--help: No such file or directory", prints the path
  of any other files and doesn't print help.

If the first argument is '--help' ignore any other arguments and print
help.  This is more consistent and most likely what the user wanted.

See also commit 6bdfbc4cb (libbb: fix '--help' handling in
FEATURE_SH_NOFORK=y).

libbb is BusyBox's utility library.  All of this stuff used to be stuffed into
a single file named utility.c.  When I split utility.c to create libbb, some of
the very oldest stuff ended up without their original copyright and licensing

that you wrote that is mis-attributed, do let me know so we can fix that up.
