hi,

i think it is clearer when argument descriptions are listed
in table form vs paragraph form. diff below converts most
of du's arguments to a table. -b is still hanging out in the
first paragraph, i'll get to that if this diff is ok.

i left the -s description as is, its not great but not incorrect
either.

the only semantic description change intended is -n 'it sets' to
'this implies'.
