Documentation/git-branch: cleanups
Most of the exact option strings to be typed by end users are
already set in typewriter font by using `--option`, but a few places
used '--option' to call for italics or with no quoting. Uniformly
use `--option`.
Also add a full-stop after a sentence that missed one.
