Add a test to assert basic compliance with the CodingGuidelines in the SYNOPSIS and builtin -h output. For now we only assert that the "-h" output doesn't have "\t" characters, as a very basic syntax check. Subsequent commits will expand on the checks here as various issues are fixed, but let's first add the test scaffolding.
