Add help-console command to Qt debug console

- Added `help-console` to the list of autocompletion strings
     - Implemented requested changes to help message:
       - Added an example that uses access-by-index `getblock(getblockhash(0) true)[tx][0]`
       - Replace "bracketed syntax" to "parenthesized syntax" where applicable
       - Replace "separate" with "delimit"
       - Removed `<br>` and `<b>help/help-console</b>` from translation strings, since these parts don't change between languages
       - Changed examples to be based off `getblock 0` so they will work even with pruned/no blockchain and `disablewallet` if copied and pasted
       - Clarified syntax for queries of named/unnamed result objects.
