Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z'
In commit 64485b4a, the documentation for 'git log -z' was
simplified too much. The -z option actually changes the behavior
of 'git log' in two ways: commits will be ended with a NUL
instead of a LF (correctly documented) and the --raw and
--numstat will have NUL as field terminators (omitted in
the documentation for 'git log').
