man: drop optional qualifiers for file/modulename

Most tools don't consider the file/module name as optional, so we can
drop the square brackets denoting so.

Mind you, if we want to be extra pedantic - it is not required for
--help, --version et al. Although that should be obvious, as we are
(starting to) simplify yet enhance the documentation.
