    These days, many programs are including a bug-reporting address,
    or better yet, a link to the project web site, at the tail of
    their --help output.  However, we were not very consistent at
    doing so: only qemu-nbd and qemu-qa mentioned anything, with the
    latter pointing to an individual person instead of the project.
    
    Add a new #define that sets up a uniform string, mentioning both
    bug reporting instructions and overall project details, and which
    a downstream vendor could tweak if they want bugs to go to a
    downstream database.  Then use it in all of our binaries which
    have --help output.
    
    The canned text intentionally references http:// instead of https://
    because our https website currently causes certificate errors in
    some browsers.  That can be tweaked later once we have resolved the
    web site issued.
