Enhance telnet control protocol with HELP command #13

Just add a HELP command so it returns the (currently two) supported commands.

Actually there are four commands currently:

STOP ENABLEAPI RECONNECTDATA RECONNECTACCOUNT

I agree that these need to be better documented somewhere, perhaps (as you've suggested elsewhere) in a project Wiki, or maybe in an 'Advanced Usage' section in the User Guide.

I question whether an actual HELP command would be of much value given proper documentation elsewhere. However I don't have any objection to the idea - just probably wouldn't want to bother writing it myself!
