Subject: [PATCH v1 4/5] tools/rtla: Replace osnoise_hist_usage("...") with fatal("...")

A long time ago, when the usage help was short, it was a favor
to the user to show it on error. Now that the usage help has
become very long, it is too noisy to dump the complete help text
for each typo after the error message itself.

Replace osnoise_hist_usage("...") with fatal("...") on errors.

Remove the already unused 'usage' argument from osnoise_hist_usage().
