doc: clarify in --help/man where short options take no param

* src/shred.c (usage): For -u, separate the decscription
of the short and long option, to clarify that the short option
takes no parameter.
* src/split.c (usage): Likewise for -d.
* src/tee.c (usage): Likewise for -p.
* src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise for -D.
