Description:
mysqld --help does not mention parameter --skip-external-locking correctly

How to repeat:
mysqld --help --verbose | grep skip

Suggested fix:
some comment like

--skip-external-locking ...

remove --skip-locking comment instead (it is deprecated!)

Verified on 5.0.2-BK. --skip-external-locking is not described.
