gc docs: clarify that "gc" doesn't throw away referenced objects
Amend the "NOTES" section to fix up wording that's been with us since 3ffb58be0a ("doc/git-gc: add a note about what is collected", 2008-04-23). I can't remember when/where anymore (I think Freenode #Git), but at some point I was having a conversation with someone who was convinced that "gc" would prune things only referenced by e.g. refs/pull/*, and pointed to this section as proof. It turned out that they'd read the "branches and tags" wording here and thought just refs/{heads,tags}/* and refs/remotes/* etc. would be kept, which is what we enumerate explicitly. So let's say "other refs", even though just above we say "objects that are referenced anywhere in your repository".
