I propose to make a few alterations to init-cl.lisp and maxima.1.in. In
the former, I've added 3 command-line options and fixed bug report
SF bug #2892710. In the latter, I've documented these extra options, along
with a couple undocumented options added by others.

The documentation and code have been amended along the lines suggested
by Robert.
