help: pass subtopic into help()

Now that we have multiple directories where help topics can live,
we need a mechanism to access them. We already use "." to
separate topic from section. So it seems logical to also use "." to
denote the sub-directory of a topic.

This patch teaches the help command to parse out the possible
sub-topic and pass it to the help system.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError as err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
