Currently '-display help' only prints the available backends. Some
of those backends support suboptions (e.g. '-display gtk,gl=on').
Mention that in the help output, and point the user to where they
might be able to find more information about the suboptions.
The new output looks like this:

$ qemu-system-aarch64 -display help
Available display backend types:
none
gtk
sdl
egl-headless
curses
spice-app
dbus

Some display backends support suboptions, which can be set with
    -display backend,option=value,option=value...
For a short list of the suboptions for each display, see the top-level -help 
output; more detail is in the documentation.

The ideal here would be to programmatically list all the
suboptions, so you could say '-display gtk,help', but that
seems like a lot of work and I'm not entirely sure how
to do it :-)
