Doc/examples: clarify usage messages

Update/bugfix the "hello" example; emphasize using EBNF syntax,
matching the User's Guide.  Correct the Texinfo style guide to
say EBNF, not BNF.

That's it! The command should now be registered and avaiable to scripts.
Note that the "usage" text should use the same EBNF that's found
in the User's Guide: literals in 'single quotes', sequences of
optional parameters in [square brackets], and alternatives in
(parentheses|with|vertical bars), and so forth. No angle brackets.
That's it! The command should now be registered and available to scripts.
