Subject: doc: clarify --help output for some optional arguments

* src/pr.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate
that the argument is optional for the short option.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise.
* src/od.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate
that the argument is required for the short option.
Clarify -w takes an argument and that it is optional.
