After checking other git operations (fetch, pull, clone, commit, merge, etc)
I found that none of these other commands document '-v' in the synopsis.

With that in mind, I wondered why it had been listed for 'git remote'.  My best
guess is that only some of the 'git remote' subcommands are affected by '-v'.
However, to me it still seems better to only mention it as a general option.
That way if subcommands add/remote support for '-v', the usage string
and man page don't need to be updated.

Please note that even with the change, '-v' is still printed as one of the
general options in the usage string.  I simply removed it from the synopsis
section.

Thank for reviewing,
Tim
