Command docs: remove ellipses for '-rand'
Ellipses were used to express that the '-rand' value can specify
multiple files, like this:
B<-rand> I<file...>
Because there are conventions around ellipses, this becomes confusing,
because '-rand file...' is normally intepreted to mean that
'-rand file1 file2 file3' would be processed as three randomness
files, which makes no sense.
Rather than making things complicated with more elaborate syntax, we
change it to:
B<-rand> I<files>
