Philippe Blain a4514a46d9 blame-options.txt: also mention 'funcname' in '-L' description
Make it clearer that a function can be blamed by feeding `git blame`
'-L :<funcname>' by mentioning it at the beginnning of the description
of the '-L' option.

Also, in 'line-range-options.txt', which is used for git-log(1) and
gitk(1), do not parenthesize the mention of the ':<funcname>' mode, to
place it on equal footing with the '<start>,<end>' mode.

-L<start>,<end>:<file>::
-L:<funcname>:<file>::
Trace the evolution of the line range given by '<start>,<end>',
or by the function name regex '<funcname>', within the '<file>'. You may
not give any pathspec limiters. This is currently limited to
a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only
give zero or one positive revision arguments, and
'<start>' and '<end>' (or '<funcname>') must exist in the starting revision.
You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`, but other diff formats
(namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`,
`--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented.
