[PATCH] dd: document multiplier for number options like count=N

[Bernhard Voelker]

I was surprised that the "N" options of dd also accept a multiplier
suffix, e.g. "count=10M". The following patch documents it.

Have a nice day,
Berny

* src/dd.c (usage): Add "N" to the description of multipliers.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise.
