doc: use semicolon instead of period in option descriptions
Also do not end option descriptions with a period, properly indent continuation lines, and make some tiny clarifications. * src/du.c (usage): Lowercase after semicolon. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolons instead of periods, small rephrasing and two hyphens for clarity, proper indentation. * src/mktemp.c (usage): Semicolons and lowercase. * src/od.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/ptx.c (usage): Use the standard phrase, clarify default option. * src/setuidgid.c (usage): Properly indent continuation line. * src/split.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase, no final period. * src/stat.c (usage): Semicolons, lowercase. * src/tail.c (usage): Proper indentation, one shorter rephrasing, semicolons, no final periods. * src/timeout.c (usage): Properly indent, semicolons, no final periods. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/14976
