#15364 — imprecise wording in builtin usage

In builtins.c, there is:

"getopts optstring name [arg]"

The "[arg]" should be replaced with "[arg ...]".

In the same file there is:

"exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...]"

The "arguments" should be replaced with "argument", since the "..."
already says that there can be many.
