Add missing argument placeholders to several command-line tools

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/smcv/cli-placeholders into main

  • girepository: Provide placeholders for --includedir

    If we don't do this, the --help text is formatted as though the option did not expect an argument.

    This does not introduce new translated strings: DIRECTORY was already translated.

  • girepository: Provide placeholders for positional parameters

    Otherwise, correct invocation isn't clear from the --help output.

    This does not introduce new translated strings: FILE was already translated.

  • gdbus: Add command-line placeholder for ADDRESS

    If we don't do this, the --help text is formatted as though the option did not expect an argument.

    This introduces a new translated string, but it is developer-oriented, so a missing translation is not particularly bad.

  • glib-compile-resources: Provide placeholders for options with an argument

    If we don't do this, the --help text is formatted as though the option did not expect an argument.

    IDENTIFIER is a new translated string, but it is developer-oriented, so a missing translation is not particularly bad. COMMAND is already present in translations.
