[Bug 1856717] [NEW] man page / usage string mismatch

[Moses Moore]

Public bug reported:

man geoiplookup offers:

    geoiplookup [-d directory] [-f filename] [-v] <ipaddress|hostname>

The usage string from `geoiplookup -h` offers:

    geoiplookup [-h] [-?] [-d custom_dir] [-f custom_file] [-v] [-i]
[-l] <ipaddress|hostname>


The '-i' and '-l' parameters are missing from the man page.  The program itself does not have a '--help' to explain these parameters/options further.
