[Bug 1611847] [NEW] man ubuntu-bug doesn't explain how to start input on terminal

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

Setting the `DISPLAY` environment variable to an empty value allows
entering bug reports on the terminal. This should be documented in `man
ubuntu-bug`.

This is also apparently the only way to choose a different browser (by
opening the displayed URL in it).
