The device selection options have got quite long, so move them into a separate picotool help device-selection command, rather than appearing in every help output

Also add a family-ids topic to list available family IDs (fixes #305)

Also makes various improvements to the help output.

maybe worth renaming "device selection" at least the heading/docs (not the help option) to indicate that it has other stuff like reboot

Perhaps the "Show general help or help for a specific command" now ought to say "Show general help, or help for a specific command or topic".

Add docs for `version` and remove ALLOWED_MISSING_COMMANDS

"Post load actions" -> "Load options"

set/get -> get/set

Fix white-label -s option not showing up

Fix otp permissions docs
gen_help_txt.sh tidyups

Add topic mention to picotool help docs

Missing comma in block devices docs
Fixes things like --family <family_id> appearing on separate lines

Also ensures short and long options are shown in the help output
…tout

Also ensure all lines end in full-stops
