This prevents problems when cross compiling. Using help2man is now also of limited use; if we can just tell the user to use --help we do not need to keep the manual in sync. It also allows us to drop the several other supporting files that we use when the help2man output isn't actually that useful. Fixes https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/3025

This tool can be used to switch the device from the normal runtime mode

`targets' can be specified with the alternative name or number.

handles many device `quirks' necessary for the real-world implementations
|
|
of DFU\&.
