[ale] SUSE best practices

[Beddingfield, Allen]

suse_register --help is also available.

It has been replaced in SLES 12.  At least there wasn't a snarky comment telling you to just upgrade to 12!

    To be fair, this is in an appendix to a best practices document.
    suse_register itself is documented in other places, like
    https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3030847
    
    That said, you're right that it's a rather condescending note. I'll add
    a doc bug, and if you guys have any other questions about SUSE products
    I'm happy to answer.
