Update debug=action-timestamps
+ Rename to action-timestamps (from action_timestamps) for
consistency with other compound word options.
+ Put manpage entry in alphabetical order.
+ Describe what option does and shorten it (refers to debug=time
instead of duplicating it)
+ Change prints a bit (and tests to match)
+ Show scons version where added.
+ Slight adjustment to manpage introduction to debug options.
Along the way, fixes a lingering tag mismatch from an earlier
documentation PR.
Updates PR#3456
