commit 849c1c5b16c32756e14be719855601017770e621

doc: improve df --human and --si, help and man page
    
    * src/df.c (usage): Adjust the --human and --si descriptions
    to not depend on each other.  Also include an example that is
    illustrative of the rounding, suffix, width, and localized fractions.
    * src/system.h (emit_size_note). Adjust so that it's obvious the
    description is pertaining to the input SIZE argument, and not
    to any sizes that might be output by df for example.
    Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/16922
