mingw: document the standard handle redirection

This feature has been in Git for Windows since v2.11.0(2), as an
experimental option. Now it is considered mature, and it is high time to
document it properly.

+Two special values are supported: `off` will simply close the

+`2>&1`, standard error will be redirected to the same handle as
+standard output.
