[docs] Reformat -help output for help2man
This commit slightly changes the format of the "Usage" strings in CLI `-help` messages to meet the expection of the help2man tool, which we use to generate man pages. On the way, we remove a few calls to `strprintf()`, which became superficial after commit 32fbfda.
