Documentation/git-log: update "--log-size" description

Browse source 
"--log-size" was added in commit 9fa3465, and the commit message
contained a satisfactory explanation; however, the man page entry
for it did not describe the actual output format, what the output
meant and what the option was meant to be used for.

produced by --stat etc.
--log-size::
Before the log message print out its size in bytes. Intended
mainly for porcelain tools consumption. If Git is unable to
produce a valid value size is set to zero.
Note that only message is considered, if also a diff is shown
its size is not included.
Include a line ``log size <number>'' in the output for each commit,
where <number> is the length of that commit's message in bytes.
Intended to speed up tools that read log messages from `git log`
output by allowing them to allocate space in advance.
