[PATCH weston 3/3] weston-launch: improve help text for -u and -t

From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>
Explain that -u requires root and -t requires -u. Most importantly,
document in what format does -t expect the tty to be given.
It has been confusing, because Weston's --tty option takes an integer,
weston-launch takes a full device path.
