New description:
This arose from some of the discussion at #12421. In summary: we don't
need to mention `license()` in the Sage banner. Instead, we should
mention the `help()` command. I also added basic information about using
`less` with introspection to the help message.
Apply [attachment:trac_12445-banner.patch],
[attachment:12445_doublequote.patch], and
[attachment:trac_12445-ref.patch] to the main Sage library.

Comment (by jhpalmieri):
I'm ready to give this a positive review, except for two issues, fixed in
my referee's patch. Please check my changes, and give the ticket a
positive review if you're happy with them.
- A doctest fails because of the changes to lines 93-94 of banner.py: the
old doctest ended in "...", while the new one doesn't, so it doesn't
handle banners for beta versions (which include "Warning: this is a
prerelease version...").
- Also, you were a little over-enthusiastic with search-and-replace:
{{{function"s}}}, line 1413, and {{{Python"s}}}, line 1425, of sagedoc.py.
