doc: git: link to the gitdatamodel(7) tutorial 

The previous commit added the first mention of gitdatamodel(7) here,
under Guides. But there are also other sections where a mention is
relevant.

Let’s mention it:

• under Description, since it is as useful as the other tutorials
  already mentioned there for those who are interested;
• under Terminology, since it complements gitglossary(7) as a
  pedagogical rather than reference source for the core terms;[1] and
• under See Also, since the other tutorials (plus the user manual) are
  mentioned there.

We don’t need to mention it under Further Documentation since we now
mention it under Description.

† 1: See dee80940 (doc: add an explanation of Git's data model,
     2025-11-12):

          `gitglossary`. This makes a good effort, but it's an
          alphabetically ordered dictionary and a dictionary is not a
          good way to learn concepts. You have to jump around too much
          and it's not possible to present the concepts in the order
          that they should be explained.
