"log --pretty" documentation: do not forget "tformat:"

Browse Source 
We forgot to list "tformat:<string>" when enumerating possible
values that "--pretty=<format>" can take.  It was not described
that "--pretty='string with %s placeholder'" that is not understood
is DWIMmed as "--pretty=tformat:<that string>".

Further, it was unclear what "When omitted, defaults to 'medium'"
was meant.  Is it "When --pretty=<something> was not given at all",
or is it "When --pretty is given without =<something>"?  Clarify
that it is the latter.

Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'. See
the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
format. When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.
'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw', 'format:<string>'
and 'tformat:<string>'. When '<format>' is none of the above,
and has '%placeholder' in it, it acts as if
'--pretty=tformat:<format>' were given.

See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
