Adjusting help message (#4865)

On stable, running with `--help|-h` shows information about `file-lines`
which is a nightly-only option. This commit removes all mention of
`file-lines` from the help message on stable.

There is room for improvement here; perhaps a new struct called, e.g.,
`StableOptions` could be added to complement the existing
`GetOptsOptions` struct. `StableOptions` could have a field for each
field in `GetOptsOptions`, with each field's value being a `bool` that
specifies whether or not the option exists on stable. Or is this adding
too much complexity?
