Redo HelpFunc() to work things other than the help subcommand

Today the HelpFunc() seemed to be tailor built for the `help`
subcommand. Which has a rather weird purpose as its `Run` needs to
find the actual command we want to get help about.

Instead make the HelpFunc() for a command be about that command,
rather than having it search for some other command...
