dd: remove references to the word BLOCKS from help and texi docs
The renaming from BLOCKS to N was done in v8.15-38-g140eca1,
and documentation for N was added again in v8.17-26-g4f2e9d5
without noticing that. Now, finally remove the word BLOCKS
from the documentation.
* src/dd.c (usage): Remove the word BLOCKS.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
Improved by: Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
