* find/find.1:
* locate/locate.1: Use unbreakable spaces between options and their
  arguments, potentially improving legibility.

The existing synopses are short enough that they don't break in such a
way as to promote confusion even on old-fashioned AT&T troffs that use a
line length of 65n in nroff mode (vs. groff man(7)'s historical 78n and
present-day 80n).  Thus this change merely makes the synopses robust to
future changes.
