* binutils.texi: Add a chapter summarizing the ways to select
aspects of the target for each program. * objdump.c (long_options, usage): Add long equivalents for all remaining short options that lacked them. * binutils.texi objdump.1: Document them. * size.c (usage): Tweak usage message. * size.1: Add missing `=' in examples. * binutils.texi strip.1 objcopy.1 nlmconv.1 objcopy.c nlmconv.c: Use "--target=bfdname" as the option to select the BFD target, like nm and size already do. Reserve "--format=format" for textual output selection options, but for now keep old option names as obsolete for backward compatibility. * strings.c (main, strings_object_file, usage): Add --target option. * binutils.texi strings.1: Document it.
