btrfs-progs: document force option in mkfs usage(); add long opt
I missed updating the mkfs.btrfs usage() when I added the option to force fs overwrite. Update that, and while we're at it add a long option, since all other commands have long counterparts. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

Force overwrite when an existing filesystem is detected on the device.
By default, mkfs.btrfs will not write to the device if it suspects that
there is a filesystem or partition table on the device already.
