Make the "merge-index" doc SYNOPSIS and "-h" output consistent with
one another, and small issues with it:
- Whitespace padding, per e2f4e7e8c0f (doc txt & -h consistency:
correct padding around "[]()", 2022-10-13).
- Use "<file>" consistently, rather than using "<filename>" in the
"-h" output, and "<file>" in the SYNOPSIS.
- The "-h" version incorrectly claimed that the filename was optional,
but it's not.
