Add RCSID's to help files and centralize the function to cat the help files.

Jumbo mail patch from our anonymous user:

1) Use editline [optional]:
Most of this code was borrowed from src/usr.bin/ftp. It does the
appropriate editing, history, and completion for all mail commands
(from cmdtab[]) and also does editing on header strings ('~h' inside
the mail editor).

2) '-B' flag:
This will suppress the "To:" line passed to sendmail. In most
configurations it will lead to sendmail adding "To: undisclosed
recipients;". Currently, AFAIK mail requires at least one exposed
recipient address.

3) Comments in rcfile:
Currently, comments in .mailrc are only supported if the first
(non-white) character on a line is '#' followed by white space,
i.e., '#' is a 'nop' command. This (trivial) patch allows the more
normal/expected use of '#' as a comment character. It does not
respect quoting, so that might be an objection which I should fix.

4) Sendmail option editing:
This adds the sendmail option string to the strings editable by the
'~h' command within the mail editor. Currently, you can only set
this string from the command-line, which is particularly annoying
when replying to mail.

5) Reply from:
When replying to a message, grab the "To:" address from the message
and, if there is only one such address and it does not match a list of
allowed addresses (set in the "ReplyFrom" variable), pass it to
sendmail as the "From:" address for the reply (with the '-f' option).
I often make aliases for myself so that my primary address is not
given out; if the alias gets out, I know who to blame. Unfortunately,
a reply to such a message would normally use the primary address
without this patch. A warning is displayed when this is going to
happen so that it can be modified with '~h'.

6) CC and BCC lists:
Allow '-c' and '-b' to accept white-space or ',' delimited lists.
Currently, a white-space delimited list of addresses work, but a
list of aliases will not get expanded. For example, currently:

mail -c "foo bar" christos

will fail to send mail to 'foo' and 'bar' if these are mail aliases
(in ~/.mailrc); sendmail aliases (in /etc/aliases) do work.

7) pipe command:
This pipes the current message into a shell command. I use this for
quick decoding of uuencoded mail, but I can imagine it might be
useful for decrypting encrypted mail, too.

8) show command:
This command takes a list of variables and shows their values. It
is probably stupid as the 'set' command without any argument
displays all variable values. Of course, if there are a lot of
variables you have to sift through the list for the one(s) you want.

Add RCSID's to help files and centralize the function to cat the help files.

Set the 'crt' flag by default. This enables the pager, so that
messages > 24 lines do not scroll off the screen. Fixes PR 6965

Added missing mailx tilde escapes that POSIX wants (~<!, ~a, ~A, ~i).
Updated man page and tilde help file for missing ~ escapes.
Closes PR 782 by Simon J. Gerraty after four years and two weeks.
