streamline and document helptext mode displays
Most commands are usable only at runtime; so don't bother saying
that, it's noise. Moreover, tokens like EXEC are cryptic. Be
more clear: highlight only the commands which may (also) be used
during the config stage, thus matching the docs more closely.
There are
- Configuration commands (per documentation)
- And also some commands that valid at *any* time.
Update the docs to note that "help" now shows this mode info.
This also highlighted a few mistakes in command configuration,
mostly commands listed as "valid at any time" which shouldn't
have been. This just fixes ones I noted when sanity testing.
