Documentation: clarify meaning of --html-path, --man-path, and --info-path
These options tell UI programs where git put its documentation, so
"Help" actions can show the documentation for *this* version of git
without regard to how MANPATH and INFOPATH are set up. Details:
. Each variable tells where documentation is expected to be. They do
not indicate whether documentation was actually installed.
. The output of "git --html-path" is an absolute path and can be used
in "file://$(git --html-path)/git-add.html" to name the HTML file
documenting a particular command.
. --man-path names a manual page hierarchy (e.g.,
/home/user/share/man). Its output can be passed to "man -M" or put
at the beginning of $MANPATH.
. --info-path names a directory with info files (e.g.,
/home/user/share/info). Its output is suitable as an argument to
"info -d" or for inclusion in $INFOPATH.
