Documentation: user-manual: add information about "git help" at the beginning 

Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more
features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and
it may work on non unix like platforms.

Further chapters cover more specialized topics.
Comprehensive reference documentation is available through the man
pages. For a command such as "git clone <repo>", just use
pages, or linkgit:git-help[1] command. For example, for the command
"git clone <repo>", you can either use:
------------------------------------------------
$ man git-clone
------------------------------------------------
or:
------------------------------------------------
$ git help clone
------------------------------------------------
With the latter, you can use the manual viewer of your choice; see
linkgit:git-help[1] for more information.
See also <<git-quick-start>> for a brief overview of git commands,
