Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Clarify in e4crypt man page that -S is an optional argument

The Backus-Naur Form (BNF) of the synopsis of 'add_key' does currently
not state that the -S parameter takes an *mandatory* argument, while
the BNF found in the commands section of the man page does. The square
brackets around the optional parameter are also missing.

synopsis:
e4crypt add_key -S [ -k keyring ] [-v] [-q] [ -p pad ] [ path ... ]

commands:
e4crypt add_key [-vq] [-S salt ] [-k keyring ] [ -p pad ] [ path ... ]

This simply copies the add_key BNF from he commands section into the
synopsis.
