Right-align headers over all-numeric columns with --right-align-numeric (#380) (#2167)

With --right-align-numeric, PPRINT data cells right-align but headers
stayed left-aligned, so a header did not line up with its own column's
data -- the original ask in #380. Now a header is right-aligned when
every value in its column is numeric, for both non-barred and barred
PPRINT output. Mixed columns keep left-aligned headers.

For --omd-aligned, the raw header text of right-aligned columns is now
right-justified too, matching how Markdown viewers render the ---:
marker; this follows the same all-values-numeric per-column rule
already used for the separator markers.

Man-page regeneration also picks up previously-merged reorder help-text
edits that had not been regenerated.
