Usage: -F option desc. not entirely correct #2

Description

@mykhal

usign-F option claims that the related string/data is a fingerprint. But it's not entirely correct, it's not a hash but just random bytes (in signify it's now internally named keynum). See e.g.:

OpenWrt keys page uses term Key-ID.

usign usage should not say

print key fingerprint of public/secret key or signature

but rather e.g.

  • print key "fingerprint" (ID) of public/secret key or signature
