[bug-diffutils] [patches] minute improvements to diff's help text

Hi,

The first patch adds the missing comma after option "-b" in
the help text of diff.  The second patch expands the word PAT
to the more readable PATTERN after option "-x".  Apply these
two patches please only after release of 3.1 -- or now if there
will be a pre2.

The third patch discards the strange output mechanism for the
help text and makes it similar to those of cmp, diff and sdiff.
Four text lines are moved from option_help_msgid[] to their own
printf() statement to avoid getting these lines strangely indented
in translation -- in Dutch for example the exit status line would
get indented by two spaces.  It also makes continuation lines
get aligned in the same fashion across the four programs.

(Please CC, not subscribed.)

Regards,

Benno
