   To avoid use of info_cmds, the help function need to use sub command
structure, otherwise "info" is a special case, so I modified the
functions. I will refine the commit message.

   It is used to print parent command, such as "info" in "info block"

   help_cmd_dump():
-            monitor_printf(mon, "%s%s %s -- %s\n", prefix, cmd->name,
-                           cmd->params, cmd->help);

   The old code can't work with sub command for parameter prefix. To
solve it, I introduced function help_cmd_dump_one(), which dedicate
to format control and knows parent commands. This can avoid dynamic
snprintf to a buffer for prefix.

   help_cmd_dump() is changed as a re-enterable function to handle
sub command case, so above lines need to be inside a re-enterable
function, to handle the case that dump all commands under one group,
such as "help info". Moving it out will make it work only when
folder depth is 1.

   OK, I will improve it in an previous patch.
