Clarify initdb --sync-only help message and docs

The initdb help message for --sync-only was a bit terse, and not
really self-explanatory. Make it clearer that initdb --sync-only
will exit after syncing, and expand the docs with a note on when
the option can be useful. Also align the help output with others
that exit immediately.
