Documentation: Remove mentions of git-svnimport.

Browse source 
git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the
documentation.  This also updates the description, removing the
historical discussion, since it mostly dealt with how it differed from
svnimport.  The new description gives some starting points into the
rest of the documentation.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
'git-svn' is a simple conduit for changesets between Subversion and git.
It is not to be confused with linkgit:git-svnimport[1], which is
read-only.
It provides a bidirectional flow of changes between a Subversion and a git
respository.
'git-svn' was originally designed for an individual developer who wants a
bidirectional flow of changesets between a single branch in Subversion
and an arbitrary number of branches in git. Since its inception,
'git-svn' has gained the ability to track multiple branches in a manner
similar to 'git-svnimport'.
'git-svn' can track a single Subversion branch simply by using a
URL to the branch, follow branches laid out in the Subversion recommended
method (trunk, branches, tags directories) with the --stdlayout option, or
follow branches in any layout with the -T/-t/-b options (see options to
'init' below, and also the 'clone' command).
'git-svn' is especially useful when it comes to tracking repositories
not organized in the way Subversion developers recommend (trunk,
branches, tags directories).
Once tracking a Subversion branch (with any of the above methods), the git
repository can be updated from Subversion by the 'fetch' command and
Subversion updated from git by the 'dcommit' command.
