Add no-return attribute to usage() style functions
A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage()
function that prints out how to use the command line options and
then terminates.
The function is typically used inside a switch block for command
line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the
break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However,
this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through.
Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the
usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do
not return and removes further superfluous break statements.
