The '-display' help information is not very correct. This patch sort
it a little.
Also, in its help information, reveals what implicit display option
will be chosen if no definition.

P.S.
Hi Markus,

Sorry for late of sending out this patch. Really busy recently, and it
also took me some time to understand the framework help message generation.

Results in a long line of output.  You misspelled sdl.

Perhaps simply:

   "The default display is equivalent to\n"

> +            "\t\"-dispaly gtk\"\n"

s/dispaly/display/

Long line of output.  Preexisting: the "instead of SDL" part is wrong
unless CONFIG_SDL.

What about:

    "-curses         shorthand for -display curses\n",

If we change -curses as suggested, then this should become

    "-sdl            enable SDL; is sugar for -display sdl\n",

for consistency.

Long line of output.

If we change -curses as suggested, then this should become

     -vnc display    start a VNC server on display; is sugar for -display vnc=display

    "-vnc <display>  shorthand for -display vnc=<display>\n",

for consistency.

Thanks for tackling this!
