Series [v1] xentrace: adjust exit code for --help option | expand

Invoking the --help option of any tool should not return with an error,
if that tool does indeed have a documented and implemented help option.

Adjust the usage() function to exit with either error or success.
Handle the existing entry in the option table to call usage accordingly.

Adjust the getopt value for help. The char '?' is returned for unknown
options. Returning 'h' instead of '?' makes it allows to handle --help.

Is this any different from the v1 sent on May 26th?

Yeah, this one still has the bogus commit message.
I forgot that this patch was already sent earlier.

Please ignore this one.
