Clean up some --help formatting.
Be consistent about upper versus lower case. (Upper seems to have the majority, so I went with that, though I'm happy to provide the opposite patch as long as we're consistent!) Be consistent about using \t. (Though saving a few bytes seems like it might be better done in the code that generates help.h rather than directly in the source, since tabs make careful ASCII art layout hard enough that we regularly have things misaligned.) Remove trailing periods (most of which seem to have been added by me). Always use the US "human readable" rather than my British "human-readable", and be more consistent about declaring whether we're showing multiples of 1000 or 1024. Just say "verbose" rather than adding a useless "mode" or "output".
