doc: make command synopsis more consistent

Browse Source 
* doc/coreutils.texi: Use @dots{} after [OPTION],
to be consistent with man pages.
* src/printenv.c (Usage): Remove unneeded "...".
* src/timeout.c (Usage): Add needed "...",
and also remove redundant [OPTION] only form.
* src/chroot.c (Usage): Likewise.
