Stop enumerating ops' verbs: the list went stale twice in one hour - #24

The ops row listed the verbs in prose. I brought that list up to date an hour ago — it had been missing poster, divide, duplex, outline, metadata and attachments — and by the time ops v0.13.0 shipped it was missing deblank and repair as well. ⛔ A list of names in prose, beside a command that prints the same list correctly on demand, is a second copy that can only ever be wrong. The row now says what the module is FOR, which is the table's actual job, and points at `pdfops --help` for the names. This is the same reasoning as not putting a COUNT in a repository description: "39 verbs" was both wrong (41) and guaranteed to go stale at the next one.
