Subject: New --list=help instead of --list=?, bash completion support for
 --list=option[:value], and more

The patches in this series depend on each other.

The first 3 patches should be applied to bleeding-jumbo and magnum-jumbo
as well as to 1.7.9-jumbo-6-fixes.

The last patch should be applied to bleeding-jumbo only, since it adds
get_source to the output of --list=help:format-methods.


Patch 0001 adds --list=help instead of --list=? (but --list=? continues
to be supported)

Patch 0002 adds --list=help:help, --list=help:format-methods, and
improves the output in case of a wrong method name in
--list=format-methods:WHICH (it will provide a list of valid method
names in addition to the error message).

Patch 0003 uses the functionality provided by patches 0001 and 0002 to
support the new --list options.
If --list=help is supported, bash completion will not list "?" as a
possible completion, because "help" is listed as one of the possible
completions.
This also means that
$ ./john --list=?[tab]
will not longer result in a trailing space being added if the john
version supports --list=help.
Does anybody insist on a fix?

The bash completion script continues to use --list=? (changed to
--list=\?), because jumbo-6 doesn't know --list=help.


Patch 0004 adds get_source to the list of method names for
--list=help:format-methods.
