`printf --help` printed raw Markdown headings (`### ESCAPE SEQUENCES`, `#### SUBSTITUTION QUICK REFERENCE`, ...) leaked from the after-help text, which the terminal shows verbatim. Convert the Markdown headings to plain-text headings ending in a colon, matching the fix already applied to cut and dd in #13982. Updates both the en-US and fr-FR locale strings. Fixes#13988 Co-authored-by: Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org>
Replace Markdown heading markers in the terminal help for cut and dd with plain text headings, and remove dd's stray code fence. Keep the English and French help in sync and add regression coverage.
Fixes#13978.
