This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt-
like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for
end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:

- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]
- Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...]

A patch that affects this many files is bound to interfere with a
few topics already in flight, but after applying it on top of
2.3-rc0 and then merging the result to 'pu', the textual conflicts
are still manageable.

I eyeballed it briefly and saw nothing glaringly wrong.  Let's give
others some time to glance it over.

Thanks (and thanks to those who read the previous iteration).
