Guido Trentalancia bf57d2349e Patch for Ticket #1 [1672486] (checkpolicy/checkmodule)
This patch is proposed to solve Ticket #1 [1672486] (command line
binaries should support --version and --help).

It adds handling of -h, -V and the long formats --help and --version to
all binaries (checkpolicy/checkmodule).

It also adds handling of long options for some of the available options.

Manual pages have also been updated accordingly (and a few undocumented
options have been documented).
