Add boot-level assertions for the new usage outputs. REVIEW.md requires an updated scripts/test_boot.py case when a PR changes shell or boot output. run_functional_suite currently includes neither free nor disk foo, so the QEMU shell path does not check these usage messages. Add both commands to the functional test cases with their expected Usage: output.

In `@shell/shell_test.go` around lines 960 - 1000, The boot-level functional
coverage must include the new usage outputs for both `free` and invalid `disk
foo`. Update `run_functional_suite` in `scripts/test_boot.py` to add these
commands with the corresponding expected `Usage:` strings, matching the
assertions in `TestStandardizedUsageMessages`.
