doc: more semicolons instead of periods in option descriptions
Also slightly rephrase some descriptions for extra clarity, and add more consistent indentation. * src/df.c (usage): Semicolon, no final period. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise, plus indentation and clarifying words. * src/ls.c (usage): Semicolon, rephrasings, added parentheses for clarity, indentation. * src/rm.c (usage): Semicolons. * src/tail.c (usage): Adjust -f description to prefer explanatory language instead of option syntax.
