rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description

It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the
documentation.  It is not just about "children before parent", but
also about "don't mix lineages".

Reword the description for both "--date-order" and "--topo-order",
and add an illustration to it.

By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order.
--topo-order::
--date-order::
Show no parents before all of its children are shown, but
otherwise show commits in the commit timestamp order.
This option makes them appear in topological order (i.e.
descendant commits are shown before their parents).
--topo-order::
Show no parents before all of its children are shown, and
avoid showing commits on multiple lines of history
intermixed.
+
For example, in a commit history like this:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
--date-order::
---1----2----4----7
\ \
3----5----6----8---
This option is similar to '--topo-order' in the sense that no
parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise things
are still ordered in the commit timestamp order.
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
where the numbers denote the order of commit timestamps, `git
rev-list` and friends with `--date-order` show the commits in the
timestamp order: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
+
With `--topo-order`, they would show 8 6 5 3 7 4 2 1 (or 8 7 4 2 6 5
3 1); some older commits are shown before newer ones in order to
avoid showing the commits from two parallel development track mixed
together.
--reverse::
