Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z'

Browse source 
In commit 64485b4a, the documentation for 'git log -z' was
simplified too much. The -z option actually changes the behavior
of 'git log' in two ways: commits will be ended with a NUL
instead of a LF (correctly documented) and the --raw and
--numstat will have NUL as field terminators (omitted in
the documentation for 'git log').

Without this option, each pathname output will have TAB, LF, double quotes,
and backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, `\"`, and `\\`,
respectively, and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if
any of those replacements occurred.
