maint: refactor printing of backup suffix --help

* src/system.h (emit_backup_suffix_note): A new function to
output the backup suffix info.  The strings are unchanged,
so translations are not impacted.
* src/cp.c (usage): Use the new function.
* src/ln.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
