docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentation
Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh. So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum, and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation. This way, a quick help is still available at the command line, while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format. As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST file.
