Typing ./make.py (with no arguments) used to just result in error messages
about missing values in sys.argv. Added a little bit of parameter checking,
and a usage() function so that providing no arguments, or by using any of
{-h|--help|help} as parameters will produce a message describing available
commands and options.

The command "./make.py gramps60 workplace MyAddon somepath" will create the directory 'somepath', git clone the gramps, addons-source, and addons into 'somepath', create the needed 'MyAddOn' directory in addons-source, and populate it with templates for the required files. This does not handle localization yet. A small config file is created and used to track git user info, as well. Signed-off-by: Al Stone <[email protected]>
Instead of the workspace command duplicating the init command, make it a method that can be called instead. It doesn't really simplify the init function, but it also doesn't have to be written twice and possibly not stay in sync over time. Signed-off-by: Al Stone <[email protected]>

I kept trying to invoke "make.py --help" and nothing useful happened. So, I fixed that based on the commentary in make.py and some code reading. This will now at least provide some usage info.
More experimental is the "make.py workspace" command that was added. The intent of this command is to do the initial git repository setup for development of an addon, or maintaining the addons repo. Given a directory, it will clone the necessary repositories into the proper place under that directory, checking that forks have been made in a user's github account as well. If this is useful, excellent. If not, it is not essential to addons-source for the long term even if it is handy for some of us lazier folks.
