please document --user

There is no mention of the --user flag for pip in either --help or man pip. But it works. I think it should be documented.

Upstream documentation: http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user_guide.html#user-installs

Also relevant (in case there are Debian/Ubuntu-specific tweaks): https://docs.python.org/2/library/site.html#site.USER_BASE

In the manpage there is also no link to the upstream-docs. That would be
nice to have, too.

keep up the good work!
