maint: refactor printing of backup suffix --help
* src/system.h (emit_backup_suffix_note): A new function to output the backup suffix info. The strings are unchanged, so translations are not impacted. * src/cp.c (usage): Use the new function. * src/ln.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise. * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
