I think the likelihood of a user customising such a string is pretty
much nil -- if they're able to formulate a longer help string here, then
they'll remember the options they typed out.

So I don't think a variable here would be generally useful.  If the
original submitter wants to change the string for themselves, they can
advise the function for themselves, or use `set-message-function' to
alter the prompt.
