Let utilities identify themselves as being part of uutils in --help and --version #538

had a tool in $PATH and needed to determine whether its from GNU coreutils/findutils/... , busybox, or uutils. While the GNU and Busybox state their origin in the --help and --version , uutils stays (mostly) silent about its origin.

Add something like part of uutils to --help and also mention uutils in the --version output.

Since util-linux is a multi-call binary, it should also support --version on the top level, i.e. util-linux --version.

Note: This bug is part of a series of bugreports across all tools of uutils. Please check wether I've covered all your utilities.
