doc: move -y's documentation into "Tuning the Parser"
Let's clarify --help: use clearer "section" names, as in the doc. Move --yacc to where it belongs. * src/getargs.c (usage): Rename "Parser" as "Tuning the Parser", as in the doc. Rename "Output" as "Output Files" Move --yacc to "Tuning the Parser". * doc/bison.texi: Likewise.
