Clarify what tool-specific options are (Forward port of #3444 from b0.72 to main) #3462

Fixes #3443

Modify the help message of pbench-register-tool to warn against using operational options (i.e. options used internally by pbench) for a tool when it is registered.

Modify the help message of base-tool (and everybody who is symlinked to it) to clarify which are operational options and which are tool-specific options: operational options should not be specified when registering a tool: they are used by pbench internally; only tool-specific options are specifed when registering the tool (on the RHS of -- in the invocation of pbench-register-tool).
