cmdline-opts: language cleanups
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.

"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."

Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.

# `--continue-at`
Resume a previous transfer from the given byte offset. The given offset is the
exact number of bytes that are skipped, counting from the beginning of the
source file before it is transferred to the destination. If used with uploads,
the FTP server command SIZE is not used by curl.
Use "-C -" to instruct curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the
transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out.
