Documentation: filter-branch: document how to filter all refs

Document the '--' option that can be used to pass rev-list options
(not just arguments), and give an example usage of '-- --all'.  Remove
reference to "the new branch name"; filter-branch takes arbitrary
arguments to rev-list since dfd05e38.

 Now, you will get the rewritten history saved in HEAD.
 
+To rewrite the repository to look as if `foodir/` had been its project
