documentation: more readable --help, support cross-compilation better
The <<insert sync/source-property>> tags were visible in the --help
output. Now it says
<< see "syncevolution --sync/source-property ?" >>
These special tags still get expanded in README and man page.
That expansion is done by invoking the uninstalled syncevolution
binary. If that failed, compilation aborted. That's still the case
for native compilation (because we want to catch problems). For
cross-compilation such a failure is okay and keeps the tags in
the README/man page. That's done because running a binary compiled
for an entirely different architecture is not guaranteed to work.
