doc: group dd conv= options that are actually flags
* src/dd.c (usage): Move 'sync' up with other data transformation options. Having it alongside 'fsync' and 'fdatasync' is particularly confusing. Also the double line description of the 'sync' option, serves as a visual break from the "flag" type options that follow. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Apply the same grouping as above, by splitting the "conv=" table in two.
