doc: clarify in --help that -Z doesn't take an argument

* NEWS: Fix a confusing old entry.
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust accordingly.
* src/cp.c (usage): Separate the -Z and --context descriptions.
* src/install.c: Likewise.
* src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
* src/mkfifo.c: Likewise.
* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/17220
