Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseopt

When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example

  eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"

the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
into a single space.

This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.

Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the
example that did not have the quotes.
