git-rebase.txt: correct out-of-date and misleading text about renames
Commit 58634dbff8 ("rebase: Allow merge strategies to be used when
rebasing", 2006-06-21) added the --merge option to git-rebase so that
renames could be detected (at least when using the `recursive` merge
backend). However, git-am -3 gained that same ability in commit
579c9bb198 ("Use merge-recursive in git-am -3.", 2006-12-28). As such,
the comment about being able to detect renames is not particularly
noteworthy. Remove it.
