[RFC 1/2] Documentation/git-log.txt: do not show --exclude-promisor-objects

Do not suggest that --exclude-promisor-objects is supported by git-log, since it currently BUG-crashes and it's not necessary to support it. Options that control behavior for promisor objects should be limited to a small number of commands.
