doc: improve df --human and --si, help and man page
* src/df.c (usage): Adjust the --human and --si descriptions
to not depend on each other. Also include an example that is
illustrative of the rounding, suffix, width, and localized fractions.
* src/system.h (emit_size_note). Adjust so that it's obvious the
description is pertaining to the input SIZE argument, and not
to any sizes that might be output by df for example.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16922
