doc: log, gitk: move '-L' description to 'line-range-options.txt' The description of the '-L' option for `git log` and `gitk` is almost the same, but is repeated in both 'git-log.txt' and 'gitk.txt' (the difference being that 'git-log.txt' lists the option with a space after '-L', while 'gitk.txt' lists it as stuck and notes that `gitk` only understands the stuck form). Reduce duplication by creating a new file, 'line-range-options.txt', and include it in both files. To simplify the presentation, only list the stuck form for both commands, and remove the note about `gitk` only understanding the stuck form.

blame-options.txt: also mention 'funcname' in '-L' description Make it clearer that a function can be blamed by feeding `git blame` '-L :<funcname>' by mentioning it at the beginnning of the description of the '-L' option. Also, in 'line-range-options.txt', which is used for git-log(1) and gitk(1), do not parenthesize the mention of the ':<funcname>' mode, to place it on equal footing with the '<start>,<end>' mode.

You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`, but other diff formats
(namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`,
`--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented.
