The main description of display refs for notes should be in
git-log.1, where there is a chance to give a leisurely description
of all the ways they can be set, what they are used for, and so
on. The description in git-notes.1 is only meant to be a quick
reminder of how notes are used.
So simplify it.
Also add an entry for GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF to the environment
section.

stripspace/text-based formatting kicks in when specifying the notes
content with -m or -F, or when an editor is used to edit the notes.
To binary-safely create notes from files, the following construct is
required:
git notes add -C $(git hash-object -w <file>) <object>
Explain this trick (thanks, Johan!) in the manual. Add an ordinary
example, too, to keep this esoteric one company.

file to build minified versions in.
While we are at it, lose FILES that is used only for "clean" target in a
misguided way. "make clean" should try to remove all the potential
build artifacts regardless of a minor configuration change. Instead of
trying to remove only the build product "make clean" would have created
if it were run without "clean", explicitly list the three potential build
products for removal.

The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").
Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

The diffstat "added" and "changed" fields generally store
line counts; however, for binary files, they store file
sizes. Since we store and print these values as ints, a
diffstat on a file larger than 2G can show a negative size.
Instead, let's use uintmax_t, which should be at least 64
bits on modern platforms.

Consider an evil merge of two commits A and B, both of which have a
file 'foo', but the merge result does not have that file.
The combined-diff code learned in 4462731 (combine-diff: do not punt
on removed or added files., 2006-02-06) to concisely show only the
removal, since that is the evil part and the previous contents are
presumably uninteresting.
However, to diagnose an empty merge result, it overloaded the variable
that holds the file's length. This means that the check also triggers
for truncated files. Consequently, such files were not shown in the
diff at all despite the merge being clearly evil.
Fix this by adding a new variable that distinguishes whether the file
was deleted (which is the case 4462731 handled) or truncated. In the
truncated case, we show the full combined diff again, which is rather
spammy but at least does not hide the evilness.

v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue. It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:
- the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or
- there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
fully merged in the current HEAD.
Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules.
