Changed command line examples (#6149)

Order for server:disk originally provided wouldn't stripe

Also added Short-form examples using {1...n} and a 
warning about {1..2} vs {1...3}

__NOTE:__ `{1...n}` shown in shortened examples above have 3 dots! Using only 2 dots `{1..4}` will be interpreted by your shell and won't be passed to minio server, affecting the erasure coding order, which may impact performance and high availability. __Always use `{1...n}` (3 dots!) to allow minio server to optimally stripe erasure-coded data__
