It's arguably more correct to say "[<option>...]" than either of these
forms, but the vast majority of our documentation uses the
"[<options>]" form to indicate an arbitrary number of options, let's
do the same in these cases, which were the odd ones out.
In the case of "mv" let's add the missing "[]" to indicate that these
are optional.
