Subject: doc: clarify the description of du --separate-dirs
* src/du.c (usage): Clarify that --separate-dirs doesn't exclude
all directories.
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Avoid implying that -S
excludes the size of any non directory entries for a directory.
Also don't mention st_size as it's dependent on --apparent-size.

the size listed next to a directory name, @var{d}, represents the sum
of sizes of all entries beneath @var{d} as well as the size of @var{d} itself.
With @option{--separate-dirs}, the size reported for a directory name,
-@var{d}, is merely the @code{stat.st_size}-derived size of the directory
-entry, @var{d}.
+@var{d}, will exclude the size of any subdirectories.
