[PATCH v2 2/2] Documentation/git-pull.txt: teach 'git pull --rebase' the --[no-]autostash option.

git pull --rebase understands --[no-]autostash flag.

This flag overrides config variable "rebase.autoStash" if set (default is false).

When calling "git pull --rebase" with "--autostash", pull passes the "--autostash" option to rebase, which then runs rebase on a dirty worktree.

With "--no-autostash" option, the command will die
if the worktree is dirty, before calling rebase.
