build: use latest help2man, but without locale support
* doc/help2man: Update to latest (1.40.8), but built with --disable-nls, which elides the less-portable locale-related code, and with the "use 5.008" manually changed to "use 5.006". Thanks to Brendan O'Dea for the tips. * THANKS: Update Brendan's address.
