git-reset.txt: reset --soft is not a no-op
Make it clearer that git reset --soft actually does something (changing
HEAD). While it is mentioned in the previous paragraph already it can
be easily overlooked otherwise.
Also, git reset --soft does not look at the index nor the worktree, so
there is no "good order" requirement.
