I think this formatting was originally used because it simplified adding new options to the help messages. However, these days, most tools their help message end with "\nSee the %s for details.\n" so the final line almost never has to be edited which eliminates the benefit of the custom formatting used for printf() help messages. Let's make things more consistent and use the same formatting for printf() help messages that we use everywhere else. Prompted by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/18355#discussion_r567241580
