c512643e67 (short help: allow a gap smaller than USAGE_GAP, 2023-07-18) effectively did away with the two-space gap between options and their description; one space is enough now. Incorporate USAGE_GAP into USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH, merge the two cases with enough space on the line and incorporate the newline into the format for the remaining case. The output remains the same.
