btrfs-progs: help: print multiple syntax schemas on separate lines
The help string for some commands could be split to more lines for clarity, eg. as is now in the receive command. The 'btrfs help' listing should indent all the lines properly, similar the command specific help with "usage:'. The syntax of the first help string line is to separate all command usage schemas by "\n". Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
