Summary0001949: Issues in theHarvester menu (misplaced line, wrong indentation and possible typo)
Description

theHarvester 2.2a (latest avaialable) has some issues in the menu:

   -d: Domain to search or company name
   -b: Data source (google,bing,bingapi,pgp,linkedin,google-profiles,people123,jigsaw,all)
   -s: Start in result number X (default 0)
   -v: Verify host name via dns resolution and search for virtual hosts
   -f: Save the results into an HTML and XML file
   -n: Perform a DNS reverse query on all ranges discovered
   -c: Perform a DNS brute force for the domain name
   -t: Perform a DNS TLD expansion discovery
   -e: Use this DNS server
   -l: Limit the number of results to work with(bing goes from 50 to 50 results,
       -h: use SHODAN database to query discovered hosts
        google 100 to 100, and pgp doesn't use this option)

The -h and the next line need to be swapped. And one tab needs to be removed from the -h line. I'm pretty sure 'bingapi' is not correct. I remember seeing an example from the program itself and it mentioned 'bing_api'.

Steps To Reproduce

run theHarvester from the command line without any parameters.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
