Cleanup subcommand documentation for git-remote.

Browse source 
Jakub Narebski pointed out the positional notation in git-remote's
documentation was very confusing, especially now that we have 3
supported subcommands.  Instead of referring to subcommands by
position, refer to them by name.

COMMANDS
--------
With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes. Several
subcommands are available to perform operations on the remotes.
'add'::
Adds a remote named <name> for the repository at
<url>. The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and
update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>.
In the third form, gives some information about the remote <name>.
'show'::
In the fourth form, deletes all stale tracking branches under <name>.
Gives some information about the remote <name>.
'prune'::
Deletes all stale tracking branches under <name>.
These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository
referenced by <name>, but are still locally available in "remotes/<name>".
DISCUSSION
----------
The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and
`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See
gitlink:git-config[1]).
