git-apply --directory: make --root more similar to GNU diff

Applying a patch in the directory that is different from what the patch
records is done with --directory option in GNU diff.  The --root option we
introduced previously does the same, and we can call it the same way to
give users more familiar feel.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
@ -177,9 +177,13 @@ behavior:
current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
additional information to be reported.
--root=<root>::
--directory=<root>::
Prepend <root> to all filenames. If a "-p" argument was passed, too,
it is applied before prepending the new root.
+
For example, a patch that talks about updating `a/git-gui.sh` to `b/git-gui.sh`
can be applied to the file in the working tree `modules/git-gui/git-gui.sh` by
running `git apply --directory=modules/git-gui`.
