Log Message:
PR standards/49960 - note -c and -m are incompatible

Note, this is not really a standards issue, POSIX says:

        If the -m option is specified, the number of characters shall
        replace the <bytes> field in this format.

There is no output format in POSIX which permits both bytes and
characters to be specified, and since which value represents which
counter is determined entirely by position, which of bytes or
characters would come first if both were to be presented would be
indeterminate, so I won't be doing that.

Slightly different wording used than that suggested bty Sebastian Ritter
in the PR.
