doc: improve the man page for sleep
This patch is part of work done for a project from Google Summer of
Code, see the project details at
<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/E9Jp7RUx>.
* src/sleep.c (usage): Directly mention the floating-point option,
which is typical for sleeping milliseconds.
Also reorganize the text to be 3 lines rather than 4.
