- 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 is considered to be more robust.
Two instances remain:
scripts/build/chroot_archives, line 257:
if [ "${LB_APT}" = "aptitude" ] && [ ! $(Chroot chroot "which aptitude") ]
The command is run inside a chroot where the environment might be special,
and would need further testing.
manpages/Makefile, line 42:
@if [ ! -x "$$(which po4a 2>/dev/null)" ]; \
I am insufficiently familiar with makefile syntax to edit this.

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

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!)

the frontend handles -h|--help directly and correctly redirects to the
man page.
component scripts however fail to load the correct manpage because they
are being directed to `man <script>` instead of `man lb script`.
(affects the top level commands and major build stages which actually have
man pages; the low level components don't and so will always fail anyway).

This reverts commit 2d9ab1f7f82f9a98b97d1503c1e3f31c86061c15.
Causes test failure due to bashism.

Instances of:
if [ $(which <command> ]
have been replaced with:
if command -v <command> >/dev/null
which is considered to be more robust in a range of environments.
scripts/build/chroot_archives: line 259:
if [ "${LB_APT}" = "aptitude" ] && [ ! $(Chroot chroot "which aptitude") ]
has been left untouched because the chroot might require a more complex command
which would need more testing.
manpages/Makefile: line 42:
@if [ ! -x "$$(which po4a 2>/dev/null)" ]; \
has been left untouched because I am not sufficiently familiar with makefiles.

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.

- prefer using `which` over hard coded paths
- it is redundant to check that the bin pointed to the return of
`which` exists and is executable, `which` already gives us
assurance of that if it returns true!
- the redirection of output (`2>/dev/null`) seems to be
unnecessary from my testing.
the instances relatnig to fdisk and losetup in functions/defaults.sh have
been left as they are since they get executed by `lb config` which can run
without sudo elevation unlike `lb build` and in that case `which` would
fail to find these binaries resulting in error.
this also fixes a bug showing an error for missing debootstrap - this tool
requires sudo privileges to run and thus is not found via a none elevated
which search.
