git-notes(1): add a section about the meaning of history

To the displaying code, the only interesting thing about a notes ref
is that it has a tree of the required format.  However, notes actually
have a history since they are recorded as successive commits.

Make a note about the existence of this history in the manpage, but
keep some doors open if we want to change the details.

+NOTES
+-----
+
+Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref.
+You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g.,
+`git log -p notes/commits`.
+
+Currently the commit message only records which operation triggered
+the update, and the commit authorship is determined according to the
+usual rules (see linkgit:git-commit[1]).  These details may change in
+the future.
