[syslinux] correct "--help' options

Hello hpa,
When running each ldlinux.sys installer:
extlinux
syslinux
syslinux[64].exe
syslinux.com
with the "--help" argument, the results are different, depending on
the specific installer.
Under the Linux-based installer(s):
--once=... Execute a command once upon boot
while for the others:
--once=... -o Execute a command once upon boot
Note that the "-o" is missing under Linux.
I haven't tested whether "-o" is actually working or not in any of the
installers. It would be convenient to test and unify both:
_ the actual behavior of "<installer> -o", and;
_ the "--help" screen.
A similar example is
--directory -d Directory for installation target
which appears after "syslinux --help" but not after "extlinux --help".
Does extlinux support "--directory"?
In addition to those requests, I'd like to know if there is any specific
"logic" for the order of appearance of the options when running
"<installer> --help".
TIA,
Ady.
