the output of --usage contains stray strings like "[-- gnu]"

[Benno Schulenberg]

When running `LANGUAGE=en tar --usage`, the output contains this fragment:

                                   [--format=FORMAT] [--  gnu] [--  oldgnu] [--
             pax] [--  posix] [--  ustar] [--  v7]

I don't think these [--  gnu] to [--  v7] things should be there.  I'm seeing
them with tar-1.34, 1.32, and 1.30.  But tar-1.29 did not have them.


Also, two lines down, with LANGUAGE=nl or LANGUAGE=de, a newline is lacking
before the [--posix] element, causing it to appear around column 100.  This
seems to be triggered when the translation for the [--pax-option...] element
has more than 80 columns.  This is probably a bug in gnulib's argp_help()
routine, but I'm not sure.
