https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3060

Here is a collection of smallish fixes to `ipa help` and `ipa 
<something> --help`.
This should address most of Nikolai's proposal.
Additionally, it's now possible to run `ipa <command> --help` without a 
Kerberos ticket. And there are some new tests.

I've not included the "Often used commands" in `ipa help`; I think that 
is material for a manual/tutorial, not a help command. Selecting a topic 
from `ipa topics` and then choosing a command from `ipa help <TOPIC>` is 
a better way to use the help than the verbose `ipa help commands` or 
proposed incomplete "Often used commands".
