[man pages]: Revise some syntax synopses.
Use ellipsis more idiomatically, favoring it over plurals, and including
it within instead of outside option brackets for clarity.
The construction:
foo bar [baz] ...
is ambiguous. If I specify no "baz", can "bar"s be repeated?
Also say "argument" when we mean an option OR an operand.
