[issues:#5286] Better description of -dcrop in Usage chapter 1.2

See discussion here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2018-02/msg00069.html

In 1.2, Advanced command line options for LilyPond

While updating the italian Usage manual I found this new option:

@item @code{crop}
@tab @code{#f}
@tab Match the size of the normal output to the typeset image.

The description is quite blurry and I can't come up with a good translation (unless I change the words completely). What is "normal output"? I know you mean the actual content, without margins or tagline. Then I would just say that it crops the margins and tagline (while title is kept).

[...]

Suggested description: "Compress all the music and headers in a single-page output file without margins."

Try a simple example like:

$ cat test.ly 
\version "2.19.80"

\header { title = "Crop test" }
\relative {
  \repeat unfold 100 { c1*4 }
}

Run lilypond -dcrop test.ly and you'll get three files:

• test.pdf is the regular PDF file (two pages, with margins and page numbers)
• test.cropped.pdf and test.cropped.png are the single-page output files without margins
