qemu-io: Extended "--cmd" description in usage text
It's not clear from the usage description that "--cmd" option accepts its argument as a string, so any special symbols have to be quoted from the shell. Updates in usage text: - Specified parameter format for "--cmd" option. - Added an instruction how to get help for "--cmd" option.
