[PATCH v4 5/5] mtdinfo: consolidate help as display_help()

The help message for mtdinfo is unnecessarily disjointed. It is split
into three strings which reuse the PROGRAM_NAME string inefficiently and
don't have a consistent style.
This fixup should provide a cleaner look with aligned columns and
easier-to-read source code.

v4: use spaces instead of tabs for indentation, using "strlen" plus printf
positional parameters
v3: indented help message 'properly'
v2: split off from previous patch
