line-range-format.txt: clarify -L:regex usage form
blame/log documentation describes -L option as:
-L<start>,<end>
-L:<regex>
<start> and <end> can take one of these forms:
* number
* /regex/
* +offset or -offset
* :regex
which is incorrect and confusing since :regex is not one of the valid
forms of <start> or <end>; in fact, it must be -L's lone argument.
Clarify by discussing :<regex> at the same indentation level as "<start>
and <end>...":
-L<start>,<end>
-L:<regex>
<start> and <end> can take one of these forms:
* number
* /regex/
* +offset or -offset
If :<regex> is given in place of <start> and <end> ...
