doc: clarify the pr --page-width descriptions
* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Clarify that -w or -W will be rounded down so that each column has the same width. Adjust the wording for -W, to avoid the implication that the width of -S is insignificant to the page width. * src/pr.c (usage): Add a period to avoid ambiguity in the man page output.
