doc: clarify in --help/man where short options take no param
* src/shred.c (usage): For -u, separate the decscription of the short and long option, to clarify that the short option takes no parameter. * src/split.c (usage): Likewise for -d. * src/tee.c (usage): Likewise for -p. * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise for -D. Suggested by Stephane Chazelas
