It would be nice if the help screen differentiated between built-in
commands and extension commands.
Particularly in the case of sial extensions, as you can edit them
in your crash session.  If you know that the command is sial you
can fix or enhance it if necessary.

Why?  The whole point of extension command support is to seamlessly
integrate them into the help command menu as if they were native
commands.

Secondly, if you're sophisticated enough to actually be utilizing
the sial facility, then you should know which commands are sial or
not -- especially if you then plan to dynamically fix/enhance the
command.

Third, if you *really* need to know whether a command is an extension
command, the "extend" command entered without args should show it.

Plus it's kind of ugly.  I'm sorry, I just can't buy into this
one at all...

This patch implements that by changing the pc->cmdlist from a list
of name pointers to a list of struct command_table_entry pointers.
Then the help screen can highlight those containing a new flag:
    if (cp->flags & EXTENSION)

Diffed against crash-4.0-4.7
