As of now the define HELPINFO_INSERT_GLOBALS if used as in the example
as below (as of now its not been used anywhere) will print the help
texts as shown below
$ ./btrfs fi show --help
<snip>
Global options:
--format TYPE where TYPE is: text
So in preparation to add --verbose and --quiet global options, and
apparently --format is not being used yet, this patch splits the global
options into two defines.
"Global options:"
So that the currently added global options --verbose and --quiet can use
the define HELPINFO_INSERT_GLOBALS header as shown below.
$ ./btrfs fi show --help

Build several standalone tools into one binary and switch the function
by name (symlink or hardlink).
* btrfs
* mkfs.btrfs
* btrfs-image
* btrfs-convert
* btrfstune
The static target is also supported. The name of resulting boxed
binaries is btrfs.box and btrfs.box.static . All the binaries can be
built at the same time without prior configuration.

File sizes:

Standalone utilities:

471224 btrfstune
491864 mkfs.btrfs
1747720 btrfs-convert.static
1411416 btrfs-image.static
1304256 btrfstune.static
1361696 mkfs.btrfs.static
So the shared 900K binary saves ~2M, or ~5.7M for static build.

Global options should be printed right after the command options, but
there could be text following the options. Add a marker that will allow
to order the options before that text.

This adds a global --format option to request extended output formats
from each command.
We currently only support text mode. Command help reports what
output formats are available for each command. Global help reports
what valid formats are.
If an invalid format is requested, an error is reported and lists the
valid formats.
Each command sets a bitmask that describes which formats it is capable
of outputting. If a globally valid format is requested of a command
that doesn't support it, an error is reported and command usage dumped.
Commands don't need to specify that they support text output. All
commands are required to output text.
