Confusing subscriptions expire docs #707

Description

Hello, first of all I really like and enjoy using this tool 🙂

Some time ago I was trying to expire a couple of messaged from pulsar using pulsarctl subscriptions expire. I checked the docs:

ExpireMessages flags:
  -t, --expire-time int   Expire messages older than time in seconds
  -a, --all               Expire all messages

So I executed pulsarctl subscriptions expire -t 5 ... and expected that all messages older than 5 second will be expired, but after some poking around I realised that only one was.

I think that this is a little bit misleading - I though that -t will expire ALL messages older than int but it turned out that if -a is not specified it expire only a single message - my thinking was -a expired ALL messaged no matter what time they were published.

Do you think it would be worth reflecting that behaviour more clearly in the docs?
