flag: align multi-line usage strings

Previously, a multi-line flag usage string would not be indented with the
rest of the usage strings. This made long usage strings difficult to read.

For example, the usage for flag.String("A", "", "1\n2\n3") would be printed
as:

  -A	1
2
3

But will now be printed as:

  -A	1
    	2
    	3

Also fixes a slight error in the FlagSet.PrintDefaults documentation.

Fixes #20799
