    Use upper case for metasyntactic variables in "help find"
    
    While answering a user's question on irc, I realized that the
    metasyntactic variables in "help find" are not in upper case.  As you
    know this is one of my pet quests, so here is a patch to fix this.
    Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
