doc: clarify the description of du --separate-dirs
* src/du.c (usage): Clarify that --separate-dirs doesn't exclude all directories. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Avoid implying that -S excludes the size of any non directory entries for a directory. Also don't mention st_size as it's dependent on --apparent-size. Reported by C de-Avillez in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1187044>
