psql \? help display

I promised to review our psql \? output to see if I could improve it,
particularly the "General" section at the top. Below are the results.

Are the new sections ideal, and in the best ordering? Should \copyright
be kept in "General" at the top? Should \? be listed?

I also pulled up some descriptive text that caused the options to have
blank lines between them.
