doc: git-pull: delete the example
From user feedback: this example is confusing because it implies that `git pull` will run `git merge` by default, but the default is `--ff-only`. We could instead show an example of a fast-forward merge, but that may not add a lot since fast-forward merges are relatively simple. This lets us keep the description short.
