gcore: add -h|--help options, and improve help/usage message output
Like the previous commit, this copies a lot from:
commit fb2ded33c1e519659743047ed7817166545b6d91
Date: Fri Dec 20 12:46:11 2024 -0800
Add gstack script
And adds -h | --help options to the gcore script, and smartens up the
help and usage output messages.
The usage text is now split over several lines (as it was getting a
bit long), and an input error suggests using `--help` instead of
printing the full usage string.
These changes bring gcore and gstack closer in behaviour.
