[PATCH] log: document the --decorate=auto option

Hi Junio,

While reading an email from Linus earlier (RFC: dynamic "auto" date formats),
I noticed that log.decorate was being set to 'auto'. Since I didn't recall
that setting (even if it's easy to guess), I went looking for the documentation ...

This should probably be marked RFC, since I haven't checked that the formatting
is OK (I don't have the documentation toolchain installed these days).

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
