[PATCH v2 08/10] for-each-ref: clean up documentation of --format

["Victoria Dye via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Move the description of the `*` prefix from the --format option
documentation to the part of the command documentation that deals with other
object type-specific modifiers. Also reorganize and reword the remaining
--format documentation so that the explanation of the default format doesn't
interrupt the details on format string interpolation.
