- the definition of $PROGRAM as used in $USAGE strings defined in each
script has been broken for a long time, being simply "lb" when it needs
to be "lb COMMAND".
- `config` changed $PROGRAM to "lb config" thus its output was correct in
this regard unlike everything else, but with the switch to a more
"intelligent" `Man()` function recently, it means that instead of
`man lb config`, what was actually run was `man lb config config`,
which displayed the manpage, then on exiting with `q`, it showed some
sort of index line todo with a "config" search (no exact manpage
match?), for which you had to enter `ctrl+c` to get rid of.
this revises things to fix the issues, minimising change by changing
$PROGRAM to "lb COMMAND", with the frontend overriding this.

This reverts commit 6b7c8ed4bf15175299729355f04d60dcbac1aded as it's
breaking multi-value space-separated parameters.

thus it can correctly indicate success/fail status instead of always
indicating failure. when a user asks for usage with -u|--usage then we
should exit in success mode rather than failure as when usage in printed
in response to incorrect usage.

this means that the usage goes from:
lb {-h|--help|-u|--usage|-v|--version}
lb COMMAND [OPTIONS]
to:
lb {-h|--help|-u|--usage|-v|--version}
lb [FRONTEND_OPTIONS] COMMAND [COMMAND_OPTIONS]
though it is probably not worth is to update the description in the
manpages...? hmm...
so for instance this matters for color control with --color|--no-color
(you already had full control via environment vars). previously you could
do `lb COMMAND --no-color` to turn off colour, only to find that output
at the frontend level was still coloured (the option is processed at the
command context level, not the frontend), so you might try to instead use
`lb --no-color COMMAND`, only to find that this was not supported. Well
now it is, and used at the frontend level will fully control colour output
(after the command is processed anyway).
the full set of common options are thus available (except --force) at the
frontend level, and thus for instance all Echo_*() helpers used in the
frontend will work correctly after args are processed.
furthermore usage like `lb --color --help` will actually work. (not that
color is used there, but this previously would have failed with the
frontend treating the `--color` argument as the command; that's the point!)

this option actually only has an impact when used for `lb config`; it thus
was incorrectly accepted and captured by Arguments() and the documentation
was wrong.
going back through git history, this has been incorrect since the v0.99 days.
also, reorganised the list alphabetically (no-color was inserted in the
wrong place).

all vars affected have been carefully checked to be quite certain
that they are definitely local
where variable is assigned the return value of a function/command, the
local "declaration" is deliberately done on a separate line, since
`local FOO` is actually treated itself as a command rather than a
declaration; will thus always cause $? to be zero, and thus if done on
the same line as such an assignment can not only clobber $? but in doing
so unintentionally blocks failure of a command from triggering the
expected exit from having `set -e`.
also, from testing, i have found that when assigning "${@}" this must be
done on a separate line confusingly as otherwise an error occurs.

thus for some reason if one is connected to a tty and the other a file,
we still get colour in the tty by default.
in terms of options, --color and --no-color override both, no granular
ones added since it's not worth it imo.
this is backwards compatible with custom configs setting `_COLOR`.
it could be argued that setting $_COLOR to "false" for the auto non-tty
cases is redundant, which it is, but it doesn't hurt to do so; it ensures
that if anything (inc. 3rd-party hooks and such) rely on it that it
remains correct; and ensures that if anything in the future mistakenly
uses $_COLOR instead of $_COLOR_OUT|$_COLOR_ERR that at least that will
only be broken for the use case of only one of stdout|sdterr being a tty.

Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published
and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and
thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did
not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the
project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such
modified copies as being attributed to Daniel.
Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should
suffice for this.
The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated.
Notes:
- tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015.
both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in
some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know
why they stated 2014.
- binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of
2016 unlike the rest.
- 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it
has been modified by 674794a8f4d61a729d2dbd6d99385d2826138694 and
36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 so I similarly added a
debian live copyright line.
- 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix
of 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 but modification is
modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that
might be made.

all scripts use `set -e` which means that if getop fails, the subsequent
error check that would print an error in addition to any printed by getopt
itself would never actually be reached.
the first though here would be to remove the pointless error check, but
getopt does not include the word "error" with an unrecognised option
failure, nor does it use colour to highlight problems, both of which mean
that it is a little lacking in terms of highlighting problems to users.
thus we properly capture and use the exit code here and output an
appropriate message per invalid argument vs getopt internal error.
also, removed the redundant stderr redirection which is already done
by Echo_error().
