Implement Help() function parsing and returning the help text
This function parses the already read in help text and sends the requested
portions to the user. Parsing is done as following when a user user
issues a "HELP <cmd>" command:
1. Search the file for a line "- <cmd>",
2. Output all subsequent lines that start with a TAB (ASCII 9) character
to the client using NOTICE commands, treat lines containing a single "."
after the TAB as empty lines.
3. Break at the first line not starting with a TAB character.
This format allows to have information to each command stored in this file
which will not be sent to an IRC user requesting help which enables us to
have additional annotations stored here which further describe the origin,
implementation details, or limits of the specific command.
A special "Intro" block is returned to the user when the HELP command is
used without a command name.

Add doc/Commands.txt which should document all commands
This document can be used as "help text", too, see configuration option
"HelpFile" in ngircd.conf(5).
Please note that this file in its current state is far from complete, only
a few commands are documented, but you should get an idea how it works.
So please send in patches adding the remaining parts! :-)

+ This is ngIRCd, a server software for Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
+ networks. You can find more information about ngIRCd on its homepage:
+ <http://ngircd.barton.de>

+ Use "HELP COMMANDS" to get a list of all available commands and
+ "HELP <command-name>" to get help for a specific IRC command, for
+ example "HELP quit" or "HELP privmsg".

+- HELP
+ HELP [<command>]
+ .
+ Show help information for a specific IRC <command>. The <command> name
+ is case-insensitive.
+ .
+ Use the command "HELP Commands" to get a list of all available commands.
+
+ The HELP command isn't specified by any RFC but implemented by most
+ daemons. If no help text could be read in, ngIRCd outputs a list of all
+ implemented commands when receiving a plain "HELP" command as well as
+ on "HELP Commands".
+
+ ngIRCd replies using "NOTICE" commands like ircd 2.10/2.11; other
+ implementations are using numerics 704, 705, and 706.

+- PASS
+
+- PING
