Some options help messages have sentence case and some are all in lower
case. Some have trailing periods and some do not.

We should perhaps add a test that they're all ok, and fix up those that
are not.

I suggest that they should all have an initial capital, but (as they are
not proper sentences) not have a trailing period.
