Refer the user to --manual instead of --help, since that's where the detailed instructions for --verify can be found.

I first thought I had the same issue as #93 until I discovered that verification will only work if the non-matrix-commander client explicitly requests an emoji verification. The "regular" button in element (under "Settings/Security/Where you're signed in") only says "verify" and doesn't work, one needs to go via a room list to find this button. I guess this also means I can't verify matrix-commander from for instance nheko, which doesn't have an explicit button for emoji verification (I think).

I only discovered the extra help text by checking the verify code in matrix-commander, so I hope changing this to from --help to --manual will point people in the right direction at least.

Refer the user to --manual instead of --help, since that's where the
detailed instructions for --verify can be found.
