"FORMATSTRING" and "FORMAT" are not two different arguments. |

lgtm but could you please update the commit msg to make it more explicit? thanks |
printf --help is currently listing three usage forms:
```
Usage: coreutils printf FORMATSTRING [ARGUMENT]...
coreutils printf FORMAT [ARGUMENT]...
coreutils printf OPTION
```
But there are only two usage forms, since there is no difference
between "FORMAT" and "FORMATSTRING".
Remove references to "FORMATSTRING", and use "FORMAT" in all places
where "FORMATSTRING" appeared, since other implementations of
`printf` use the argument name "FORMAT".
