Description

In HADOOP-7286, we deprecated the following 3 commands dus, lsr and rmr, in favour of du -s, ls -r and rm -r respectively. The FsShell documentation should be updated to mention these, so that users can start switching. Also, there are places where we refer to the deprecated commands as alternatives. This can be changed as well.
