git-status.txt: advertisement for untracked cache

Browse source 
When a good user sees the "too long, consider -uno" advice when
running `git status`, they should check out the man page to find out
more. This change suggests they try untracked cache before -uno.

@ -58,7 +58,10 @@ When `-u` option is not used, untracked files and directories are
shown (i.e. the same as specifying `normal`), to help you avoid
forgetting to add newly created files. Because it takes extra work
to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some
time in a large working tree. You can use `no` to have `git status`
time in a large working tree.
Consider enabling untracked cache and split index if supported (see
`git update-index --untracked-cache` and `git update-index
--split-index`), Otherwise you can use `no` to have `git status`
return more quickly without showing untracked files.

The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
