restructure helptable

When looking up a help topic, the key is now only matched against the
short names for each topic, and not the header. So

  hg help 'Environment Variables'

must be replaced with

  hg help env

    read args, parse options, and store options in state

    each option is a tuple of:

      short option or ''

    option types include:

      boolean or none - option sets variable in state to true
      string - parameter string is stored in state
      list - parameter string is added to a list
      integer - parameter strings is stored as int
