#31008: Typographical error on tor man pages help command

--------------------+------------------------------
 man tor gives the following output as the first command:

 {{{
 -h, -help
 Display a short help message and exit.
 }}}

 Except it's --help and not -help.

 -help doesn't work, I found it weird so I tested it just in case and it
 doesn't.

 New users may get confused if they don't know the -h/--help convention.
