Fix printing of argparse help to go to stdout by default.

Our help message was tricky to page because it went to stderr (argparse
default, which I don't particularly like).

Also fixed encoding marker, which was incorrect.  The problem exists in other
files too, the right syntax is:

# coding: utf-8

(with 'coding', not 'encoding').  See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263
