fix(cli): the -o/--output help text describes the input file #1796
Description
Describe the bug
In pcapkit/__main__.py:53, the -o/--output help text reads "The name of input pcap file. If format extension omits, it will be automatically appended.", copied from the positional input argument at :49. docs/source/pcapkit/index.rst:93 mirrors it.
Expected behavior
The help text describes the output file, and the docs page matches it.
Additional context
Found by the #1103 second pass (docs slice). A string change in code, so it is out of scope for the prose sweep.

Blocked until #1802 merges; it edits

Unblocked: #1802 has merged. A worker is on it.

Scope widened to the same defect in two neighbouring help strings: the positional input help says ".pcap" is appended, and the
-a/--auto-extensionhelp names only the output. Both behaviours happen only with-a(Extractor.make_name), and both are fixed in the same PR.fix(cli): make every help string match what the CLI does (#1796)
