Subject: [PATCH] Simplewallet: Unify usage messages.

Help messages describe the commands usage. When users run the command
with wrong arguments, it usually helpfully offers the usage, too.
Unfortunately, these two usage messages were duplicated in the code and
started to get out of sync.

Fixing with constant strings.
