Обсуждение: Rework help interface of vcregress.pl

Hi all,
(Windows-only be careful)

Horiguchi-san has mentioned yesterday
(http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20160414.172539.34325458.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp)
that we are missing a couple of modes in vcregress.pl in its help
message: modulescheck, bincheck, recoverycheck.

The help message given to users is ugly and unreadable:
$ perl vcregress.pl
Usage: vcregress.pl
<check|installcheck|plcheck|contribcheck|isolationcheck|ecpgcheck|upgradecheck>
[schedule]
So I would like to suggest the attached patch that makes things easier
to understand:
$ perl vcregress.pl
Usage: vcregress.pl <mode> [ <schedule> ]

Options for <mode>:
  bincheck       run tests of utilities in src/bin/
  check          deploy instance and run regression tests on it
  contribcheck   run tests of modules in contrib/
  ecpgcheck      run regression tests of ECPG driver
  installcheck   run regression tests on existing instance
  isolationcheck run isolation tests
  modulescheck   run tests of modules in src/test/modules
  plcheck        run tests of PL languages
  recoverycheck  run recovery test suite
  upgradecheck   run tests of pg_upgrade

Options for <schedule>:
  serial         serial mode
  parallel       parallel mode

Regards,

This seems to be accumultion of gradually edting for every check
modes.

It is an issue of this patch, but the command line is not
vcregress.pl, but vcregress[.bat]. However nobody would care
about the difference.

This looks good to me but since <schedule> is optional, some
description about default behavior would be needed.

Thanks for the final push.
