doc/git-branch: remove obsolete "-l" references

Browse source 
The previous commit switched "-l" to meaning "--list", but a
few vestiges of its prior meaning as "--create-reflog"
remained:

  - the synopsis mentioned "-l" when creating a new branch;
    we can drop this entirely, as it has been the default
    for years

  - the --list command mentions the unfortunate "-l"
    confusion, but we've now fixed that

List branches. With optional `<pattern>...`, e.g. `git
branch --list 'maint-*'`, list only the branches that match
the pattern(s).

This should not be confused with `git branch -l <branchname>`,
which creates a branch named `<branchname>` with a reflog.
See `--create-reflog` above for details.
