man pages and new --help output

Man pages before you changed --help output looked like:

| AUTHOR
...
| REPORTING BUGS
|        Report bugs to <address@hidden>.
| 
| COPYRIGHT

But with the latest git sources, they now look like:

| DESCRIPTION
...
|        Report link bugs to <address@hidden>.  GNU coreutils home  page:
|        http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ General help using GNU software:
|        http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/
| 
| AUTHOR

In other words, we lost the REPORTING BUGS section.  help2man needs to be 
taught how to handle the current coreutils practice of inserting the program 
name in between "Report" and "bugs".
