This is a slight improvement to the help text, as I was slightly surprised when strip-all did more than remove the symbol table. Currently, we match gold's help text for strip-all and strip-debug. I think that the GNU documentation for these options is not particularly clear. However, I have opted to make only a minor change here and keep the help text similar to gold's as these are mature options that are well understood. ld.bfd (https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html) has a similar implication although it defines strip-debug as a subset of strip-all. However, felt that noting that strip-all implies strip-debug is better; because, with the ld.bfd approach you have to read both the --strip-debug and the --strip-all help text to understand the behaviour of --strip-all (and the --strip-all help text doesn't indicate that he --strip-debug help text is related).
