Document --quiltrc, --trace, and --version options explicitly.

Separate the informational operation modes for reporting help and
version information.

Mark up synopsis canonically (literals in bold, variable content in
italics, and roman for "synopsis language" (option brackets, etc.)).

Use groff_man(7)'s SY and YS macros for more attractive presentation.
