pdfseparate PDF-page-pattern documentation enhancement

There is no documentation explaining that the pdfseparate's argument
PDF-page-pattern can contains any number format compatible to printf format.
The documentation talk only about %d.
So I propose a patch to enhance the man page and the error message when %d is
missing.

A typical use case would be to extract page 5 to 15 of a pdf file, and then use
pdfunite to reunify them. In this case, using %02d helps keeping the order of
pages (05, 06, 07, ..., 09, 10, 11, ...).
With only %d you'll have (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 5, 6, 7, ...)
